U+10B6 "Ⴖ" Georgian Capital Letter Ghan Unicode Character

U+10B6 "Ⴖ" Georgian Capital Letter Ghan is a letter from the Georgian Mkhedruli script, used historically in classical Georgian writing as a capital form of the letter "ghan." This character represents a voiced velar fricative sound, similar to the "gh" in the English word "ghost" but pronounced further back in the throat. In modern Georgian, the Mkhedruli script does not have distinct capital letters for standard text, as case distinction was historically eliminated, but this character is employed for stylistic or all-caps purposes, such as in titles or inscriptions, preserving the heritage of the ancient Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri scripts from which it derives.
