U+1C9C "Ნ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Nar Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1C9C "Ნ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Nar is a capital letter form of the Georgian letter "ნ" (Nar) used in the Mtavruli script, a modern uppercase style developed for the Georgian language. Unlike the historic Asomtavruli or Nuskhuri scripts, the Mtavruli capital letters were created in the 19th century for use in titles, headings, and emphasis within the Mkhedruli script tradition. This character represents the alveolar nasal consonant sound /n/ and is part of the Unicode block "Georgian Extended," which was introduced to standardize the Mtavruli forms for digital typography. Its design is distinctly taller and more ornate than its lowercase Mkhedruli counterpart, reflecting its role as a formal capital letter in modern Georgian writing.
