U+10AE "Ⴎ" Georgian Capital Letter Par Unicode Character

U+10AE "Ⴎ" Georgian Capital Letter Par is a letter from the Asomtavruli script, the historical uppercase form of the Georgian alphabet used primarily in ecclesiastical and monumental inscriptions. As the capital version of the letter "Par," it corresponds to the modern Georgian letter "ფ" (p'ari) and represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive sound /pʰ/. This character is part of the Unicode block for Georgian and is distinct from the lowercase Mkhedruli form, reflecting the ancient script's role in preserving Georgia's literary and religious heritage, though it is no longer used in everyday Georgian writing.
