Tuareg Tifinagh Keyboard Help

Tuareg Tifinagh is designed for typing Tifinagh characters in the Tamahaq and Tamashek languages.

It is based on the Standard Moroccan Tamazight Tifinagh AZERTY keyboard and Microsoft's Central Atlas Tamazight (Tifinagh Extended) keyboard layout spec. Additional keys include the Tifinagh Consonant Joiner (U+2D7F) to create bi-consonant ligatures. Also included are the Right-To-Left Override key (U+202E) for right-to-left writing and POP Directional Formatting key (U+202C) to reverse the right-to-left writing.

The Akatab font is recommended for this keyboard. Download the latest version of the Akatab font.

Due to the size and number of keys, some characters are hidden in the long press. Press and hold on the key with a little dot on the top right to reveal them.
