U+1C9F "Ჟ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Zhar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ჟ
U+1C9F "Ჟ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Zhar is a rarely used uppercase form of the Georgian letter zhani, primarily employed in the Mtavruli style of the Georgian script, which is a capital or title-case variant distinct from the standard lowercase mkhedruli. It represents the voiced retroflex fricative sound /ʒ/, similar to the "s" in "measure", and is part of the extended Georgian block intended for all-caps text or decorative headings, though it has limited practical use due to Georgian script conventions where case distinction is not traditionally emphasized. Its inclusion in Unicode supports historical typography and specific modern digital needs, such as formal inscriptions or stylized writing in the Georgian language.
