Cindy,

You can use the Windows Character Map which is in
Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map to input a font like
Tifinagh which starts here - U+2D30 : TIFINAGH LETTER YA.

However, I would really recommend that you use Babelmap, available
as a free download here.

Then you can chose the Tifinagh Unicode range and the correct font,
and then input.
