U+2D5F "ⵟ" Tifinagh Letter Yatt Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ⵟ
U+2D5F "ⵟ" Tifinagh Letter Yatt is a symbol used in the Tifinagh script, primarily for writing the Tuareg languages and, with some variations, the Berber languages of North Africa. It represents a voiceless pharyngealized dental plosive, similar to the "ṭ" sound found in Arabic and other Afroasiatic languages, and is part of the Basic Tifinagh block of Unicode, which was standardized to support the modern revival of the script. This character, like others in the Tifinagh alphabet, plays a key role in preserving and promoting indigenous cultural identity and linguistic heritage across regions such as Morocco, Algeria, Niger, and Mali.
