There are 28=256 [Braille patterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_Patterns) in Unicode. (By 'Braille' I mean 8-cell ones)
W, wait. How many ASCII characters were there?
27 = 128?
Well then, Let's turn ASCII into Braille, 'cause there is absolutely no reason not to!
---
# The way from ASCII, to Braille
We can see each cells represent a bit, which each cell is 'punched' or not.
Now we can allocate each cells to represent the bits of the ASCII character as binary.
```
(1  )(16 )
(2  )(32 )
(4  )(64 )
(8  )( - )
```
\* `( - )` is blank
Now we can convert ASCII to Braille. For example, `A`(65=01000001) equals to `⠡`.

### Explanation
The Braille code points are neatly ordered so that the individual dots do count up in binary. However, the ordering of the bits in the code points is different. We want the following order:
```
04
15
26
37
```
Whereas the characters are laid out in Unicode in this order:
```
03
14
25
67
```
(Which kinda makes sense, because historically, Braille only used the first six dots.) Note that we don't need the `7` dot, since the input is guaranteed to be in the ASCII range. So given a list of bits `[6 5 4 3 2 1 0]` of an input character, we want to reorder them into `[3 6 5 4 2 1 0]`, to pull the bit representing the bottom-left dot to the most significant position.
```
80     e# Push 80... we'll need this later.
q      e# Read all input.
f{     e# Map this block onto each character, putting a copy of the 80
       e# below each character.
  i    e#   Convert the character to its code point.
  2b   e#   Get its binary representation.
  7Te[ e#   Pad it to 7 bits with zeros. We've now got some bit list
       e#   [6 5 4 3 2 1 0].
  4/   e#   Split into chunks of 4: [[6 5 4 3] [2 1 0]]
  ~    e#   Dump them onto the stack: [6 5 4 3] [2 1 0]
  \    e#   Swap them: [2 1 0] [6 5 4 3]
  )    e#   Pull off the last element: [2 1 0] [6 5 4] 3
  \    e#   Swap: [2 1 0] 3 [6 5 4]
  @    e#   Rotate: 3 [6 5 4] [2 1 0]
  ++   e#   Concatenate twice: [3 6 5 4 2 1 0]
       e#   That's the reordering done.
  +    e#   Prepend the 80. That puts it in the 2^7 position of the
       e#   binary digit list, which gives it a value of 10240, which
       e#   is where the Braille characters start.
  2b   e#   Convert the bits back to an integer.
  c    e#   Convert the code point to the corresponding integer.

### Explanation
This uses the same basic idea as [my other CJam answer](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/117206/8478) but uses bitwise arithmetic instead of base conversion and list manipulation to reorder the bits.
```
q        e# Read all input.
{        e# Map this block over each character...
  i__    e#   Convert the character to its code point and make two copies.
  8&     e#   AND 8. Gives the 4th bit, which we need to move to the 7th place.
  8*     e#   Multiply by 8 to move it up three places.
  @7&    e#   Pull up another copy and take it AND 7. This extracts the three
         e#   least significant bits which shouldn't be moved at all.
  @2/    e#   Pull up the last copy and divide by 2 to shift all bits down
         e#   by one place.
  56&    e#   AND 56. Extracts the three most-significant bits.
  ++     e#   Add all three components back together.
  '⠀+    e#   Add to the empty Braille character which is the offset for all
         e#   the code points and which converts the value to a character.

I suspect I can golf it more, just gotta figure out how...
Chip reads in each byte of input as a collection of bits, referred to by the first eight letters of the alphabet (uppercase is input, lower is output):
```
HGFEDCBA
```
We simply need to map those bits of the input to the following three bytes of output:
```
11100010 101000hd 10gfecba
```
The top half of the code is doing all the sequencing, and generates the first two bytes, the bottom half generates the third byte.
Since the specification only requires handling 7 bits for ASCII, we don't examine `H`. To include the eighth bit, change line `B/b` to `B/b/H`.
