U+2D40 "ⵀ" Tifinagh Letter Yah Unicode Character

U+2D40 "ⵀ" Tifinagh Letter Yah is the second letter of the Tifinagh script, which is used primarily to write the Tamazight (Berber) languages of North Africa. This character represents the sound /j/ (like the English 'y' in "yes") and is part of the modern Neo-Tifinagh alphabet, officially standardized in Morocco and widely employed in cultural and educational contexts to preserve and promote Amazigh identity. Its distinctive geometric shape, a simple vertical line with a small horizontal stroke at the top, reflects the script's ancient origins, which trace back to the Libyco-Berber writing system used over two millennia ago.
