Would a braille display still show the special letters in Esperanto like ĝ, ŝ, ĵ, etc even if the braille display doesn't specifically support the Esperanto language or would you just have to use the x-system? (self.Blind)

This has to be the third time or so that the question comes up. The braille display itself doesn't really need to know about braille tables (some do, some don't). The screen reader driving the display can get it to produce whatever patterns are needed. So it comes down to whether the screen reader has support for a braille table that distinguishes the special characters in Esperanto. In sum, many tables do, and there's a specific Esperanto table that you can set, for instance on NVDA.

The same person has posted to many other subreddits with the same question.

Using Unified English Braille, yes. But there is now an Esperanto braille table in iOS13, although now you have to exclicitly switch braille tables, unlike prior iOS Versions.

As I have answered previously, yes. The answer will not change to a no any time soon, so please stop posting the same question repeatedly.
