U+1CA7 "Ყ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Qar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1CA7 "Ყ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Qar is a capital letter form used in the Georgian Mtavruli script, which is a monumental or uppercase variant of the Georgian alphabet. This character corresponds to the lowercase Mkhedruli letter "ყ" (qar), representing the uvular ejective consonant [qʼ] in the Georgian language. It was added to Unicode as part of the Georgian Extended block to support the distinct capitalization style employed in inscriptions, headings, and formal texts, distinguishing it from the more common Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri scripts. The Mtavruli case system is unique in that it does not use a traditional lowercase for everyday writing; instead, it serves as a stylistic uppercase for titles and emphasis within the modern Georgian script ecosystem.
