U+1CA1 "Ს" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter San Unicode Character

U+1CA1 "Ს" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter San is the uppercase form of the Georgian letter "ს" (san), part of the Mtavruli script designed for all-capitals text in the Georgian language. It represents the voiceless alveolar fricative sound /s/ and is used in modern Georgian writing primarily for headings, titles, or decorative purposes, as the Georgian alphabet traditionally lacks a distinct case distinction. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0 (2018) to support the standardized Mtavruli uppercase letters, which are not simply larger versions of the lowercase Mkhedruli forms but have distinct graphical shapes.
