U+10AF "Ⴏ" Georgian Capital Letter Zhar Unicode Character
U+10AF "Ⴏ" Georgian Capital Letter Zhar is a letter used in the historical Georgian script known as Asomtavruli, which was the original monumental and liturgical alphabet of the Georgian language. This uppercase character, pronounced as a voiced retroflex fricative similar to the "zh" sound in "measure," represents the letter Zhar in the older writing system. It is part of the Georgian block in Unicode and is typically paired with its lowercase counterpart, "" (Georgian Small Letter Zhar), though it is rarely used in modern everyday Georgian text, as the modern Mkhedruli script has largely supplanted Asomtavruli for common writing. The character primarily appears in historical inscriptions, religious manuscripts, and decorative or scholarly contexts.
