U+1CAE "Ხ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Xan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ხ
U+1CAE "Ხ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Xan is a capital letter form used in the Georgian Mtavruli script, which is the uppercase or title-case variant of the modern Georgian alphabet, distinguished from the more common lowercase Mkhedruli script. This character represents the letter "Xan", corresponding to the sound /x/ (similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch"), and it is used primarily for decorative or formal typographic emphasis, such as in headings, inscriptions, or initial letters, rather than in standard continuous text. Its addition to Unicode supports the rendering of historical and stylistic Georgian writing, ensuring proper display and digital interchange for this traditional uppercase form.
