U+1CA0 "Რ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Rae Unicode Character

U+1CA0 "Რ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Rae is the uppercase form of the letter "რ" in the modern Georgian Mkhedruli script, used specifically in the Mtavruli stylistic variant which serves as a capital or all-caps representation. This character is part of the Georgian Extended block and was added to Unicode in version 11.0 in 2018 to support proper typographic casing for Georgian text, as the traditional script did not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. It represents the voiced uvular or velar fricative sound commonly transcribed as "r" and is used in formal writing, titles, and headings where capitalization is required for clarity or style.
