The encoding in the Tifinagh block is based on the modern alphabet called Neo-Tifinagh. It also includes characters for modern attested Tuareg.
This document gives guidance on the encoding of modern orthographies using the Tifinagh script (no attempt is made to document all the variants used in ancient Tifinagh orthographies). Since the script is used for a number of orthographies covering different languages, the development of this document is ongoing. In terms of the Unicode standard, this document is purely informative since it is concerned with issues not covered by that standard.
This document also gives some guidance on font development for the different modern orthographies and languages.
