ELI5: how does Braille work for languages with complex writing systems like Chinese and Japanese?

How would the people reading Braille distinguish between words with the same pronunciation, but different Hanzi/Kanji?

Chinese and Japanese both have a romanized alphabet (Pinyin/Romaji). Also Japanese have a alphabet similar to most Romanized alphabet, where there is a set amount of characters and combinations of them makes words, (Hiragana/Katakana) which Japanese school children use before they learn how to read Kanji. 

The Braille system would be based on the Pinyin (for the Chinese) and Hiragana/Katakana (for the Japanese) similar to how English Braille works.
