Description

The Unicode character U+2D35, known as the TIFINAGH LETTER BERBER ACADEMY YAJ, holds a significant role in digital text pertaining to Berber language scripts. It is primarily utilized within the Tifinagh script, which is an alphabetic writing system employed for various Berber languages spoken across North Africa, particularly in Morocco and Algeria. The character represents the phoneme /ʝ/ or /ʒ/, similar to the English sound "y" in 'you' or 'yeast'. In terms of linguistic context, Tifinagh is considered a living script that continues to evolve, and the Berber Academy has played an instrumental role in standardizing its usage. The U+2D35 character contributes to this process by providing a reliable digital representation of the letter 'YAJ'. Technically, Unicode ensures consistent encoding across various platforms and devices, thereby facilitating seamless communication and information exchange among digital systems. With the incorporation of the TIFINAGH LETTER BERBER ACADEMY YAJ character (U+2D35) into the Unicode Standard, it becomes easier to create and display Berber texts accurately on different devices worldwide. This promotes cultural diversity and preserves the linguistic heritage of Berber languages in digital contexts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11573 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2D35. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2D35 to binary: 00101101 00110101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100010 10110100 10110101
