U+10B0 "Ⴐ" Georgian Capital Letter Rae is the uppercase form of the twenty-third letter of the Mkhedruli script, representing the consonant sound /r/ in the Georgian language. As part of the Georgian script block, it originated as a calligraphic variant used for decorative or titular emphasis before the modernization of Georgian orthography, which now primarily uses lowercase letters for standard writing. This character is also closely tied to the historical ecclesiastical Asomtavruli script, where it provides the capital form typically utilized in inscriptions, titles, and certain formal contexts to denote the rhotic sound.
