U+10A6 "Ⴆ" Georgian Capital Letter Zen Unicode Character

U+10A6 "Ⴆ" Georgian Capital Letter Zen is a rarely used uppercase letter from the ecclesiastical or Asomtavruli script of the Georgian alphabet, representing the sound "z" as in "zebra." This ancient uncial script was historically employed for religious manuscripts and monumental inscriptions, and its corresponding modern lowercase form is "ზ" (Mkhedruli), the current standard writing system for the Georgian language. While the capital letter "Zen" retains its cultural and typographic significance in liturgical contexts and historical texts, it is no longer part of everyday Georgian writing.
