U+1CAF "Ჯ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Jhan Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1CAF "Ჯ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Jhan is a capital letter form used in the Georgian Mtavruli script, which is a unicameral uppercase alphabet historically employed for monumental inscriptions and titles, as distinct from the lowercase Mkhedruli script. This particular character represents the letter "Jhan," which corresponds to the sound often transcribed as /dʒ/ in English, similar to the "j" in "judge." In modern Georgian usage, Mtavruli capitals are typically found in all-uppercase contexts such as headings, signage, or decorative writing, where this character functions as the uppercase version of the Mkhedruli letter "ჯ" (jani). Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures proper digital representation and typographic support for the Mtavruli script, preserving a significant aspect of Georgian linguistic and cultural heritage.
