U+1C9E "Პ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Par Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1C9E "Პ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Par is a majuscule form used in the Georgian Mtavruli script, which is a monumental or uppercase variant employed for titles, headings, or decorative writing, distinct from the standard Georgian Mkhedruli alphabet. This character represents the letter "Par," corresponding to the Mkhedruli lowercase "პ" with the sound value of an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive [pʰ]. Introduced as part of the Georgian Extended block in Unicode version 11.0 (2018), it serves to provide typographic consistency for capitalizing Georgian text in formal or styled contexts, reflecting a broader historical tradition of using Mtavruli for inscriptions and calligraphy while remaining in modern digital use.
