U+1C92 "Გ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Gan Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1C92 "Გ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Gan is a modern uppercase form of the Georgian letter "gan" (გ), used primarily in the Mtavruli script, which serves as the official capital letter style for the Georgian language in titles, headings, and decorative text. This character represents the voiced velar plosive sound /ɡ/ and is distinct from the historical Asomtavruli capital letters, as Mtavruli was formally encoded in Unicode version 11.0 in 2018 to support contemporary Georgian typography. It corresponds to the lowercase Mkhedruli letter "გ" (U+10D2) and is employed in contexts where capitalization is required, though Georgian typically does not use sentence case capitalization, making Mtavruli reserved for specific stylistic or orthographic purposes.
