U+10F9 "ჹ" Georgian Letter Turned Gan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ჹ
U+10F9 "ჹ" Georgian Letter Turned Gan is a rarely used letter within the Georgian script, primarily employed in historical or scholarly contexts to represent a specific phonetic variant or a transliteration of a sound from another language, often associated with the voiceless uvular plosive. Its design is a rotated form of the standard Georgian letter "Gan" (ღ), and it appears in the Unicode block for Georgian script, serving as a typographic compromise to encode sounds not native to the classical Georgian alphabet, particularly in linguistic documentation of the Svan or other Kartvelian languages.
