The obvious joke aside, which gear knob from hell would shift 4-1-6-2-5-3?

So- the upper row is 4,6,5- the lower row is R,1,2,3. It doesn’t seem to be oriented towards performance such as a “dog box” or similar set up- some trucks and power equipment have shift patterns somewhat akin to this- and many eastern bloc cars have had odd shift patterns. There are also many emerging markets where standardized or “H” pattern shifting might not be prioritized over creating cost effective and functional components, or where ergonomics etc aren’t considered, or where a gear box design or unit may simply have been repurposed from another type of machine where such a gear pattern would make functional sense or speciality operation would make design function irrelevant. I’m not familiar with any particular vehicle with this exact pattern though- and of course it could be a ship job or misprint.

I would like to, but I can’t figure out what gear this thing is in to leave.

If the driver is blind, you definitely will.

Hold on... Apart from the obvious joke - you say Brailleschrift in english? Like, the german word?

I've never seen that word, tbh. Since it was a new concept and a new word, I just got the meaning from context and rolled with it.
