U+2D34 "ⴴ" Tifinagh Letter Yaghh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2D34 "ⴴ" Tifinagh Letter Yaghh is a glyph from the Tifinagh script, which is used primarily to write the Berber (Amazigh) languages of North Africa. This specific character represents the voiced velar fricative sound /ɣ/, similar to the "gh" in the English pronunciation of "ugh" or the Arabic letter ghayn. As part of the Tifinagh block in the Unicode standard (range U+2D30 to U+2D7F), this letter is used in modern orthographies for languages like Tamazight, especially in Morocco and Algeria, and appears in educational materials, signage, and cultural media. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital representation and preservation of the script, which has ancient origins dating back to the Libyco-Berber writing systems.
