This character plays a crucial role in preserving these linguistic traditions, as it forms part of a system that predates modern Arabic numerals. Tifinagh has been adapted from the Phoenician alphabet, with some elements originating from ancient Libyan scripts. The script is known for its resilience and adaptability, having evolved over thousands of years while maintaining its core structure. In digital text, U+2D34 contributes to accurate transcription and representation of Berber languages in the realm of computing and technology. As a result, it is essential for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among Berber-speaking communities worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11572 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+2D34. 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+2D34 to binary: 00101101 00110100. 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 10110100
