Literal meaning of 打ってあります in this sentence


> **盲人のための点字が打ってあります  
> ** moujin no tame no tenji ga utte arimasu  
>  _Braille has been provided for the blind (book's translation)  
> _

The book I'm reading translates it as [to provide].  
But in any dictionary I check, it means to hit/strike. I know that this book
I'm reading likes to change the translation a bit off from the literal
meaning.  

So I'm wondering what is the literal meaning of this sentence?  
Is this incorrect? >> "Braille is prepared to tackle the need of the blind."




I think the 打つ is used in the sense of:

> うつ【打つ・撃つ・討つ】  
>  ❷㋒ 記号や番号などを書きつける。 **[付]{ふ}す。つける。** 「文末に句点を打つ」

in 明鏡国語辞典.

This 打つ is often used like this:

  * 名前にはふりがなを **打って** ください。  
(commonly seen in a registration/application form)  
≂ ふりがなを[振]{ふ}ってください・ふりがなをつけてください。  
"Please add Furigana/Ruby to your name."  
... even when you're writing it by hand.

  * この絵本は、漢字に全部[読]{よ}み[仮名]{がな}が **うって** あります。  
"Pronunciation/ruby has been added to all kanji in this picture book."

So I think the 打つ in your example 盲人のための点字が打ってあります is also used in the meaning
of 「つける」 or 「[付]{ふ}す」, literally "put", "attach", or "add".




打つ here means "to punch" (to punch Braille dots)
