U+10A0 "Ⴀ" Georgian Capital Letter An Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ⴀ
U+10A0 "Ⴀ" Georgian Capital Letter An is the first letter of the classical Georgian script known as Asomtavruli, which was historically used for monumental inscriptions and religious manuscripts. This uppercase character represents the vowel sound /a/ and is the capital form of the corresponding Mkhedruli letter ა, though in modern Georgian usage the Asomtavruli script is primarily employed for decorative, ceremonial, or title headings rather than in everyday writing. Its visual form, a rounded shape with an open counter, reflects the ancient calligraphic traditions of the Georgian language and serves as a key component in encoding the rich linguistic heritage of the Caucasus region.
