U+1CB2 "Ჲ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hie Unicode Character

U+1CB2 "Ჲ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hie is a modern uppercase form of the Georgian letter Hie, used primarily in the Mtavruli script, which is a majuscule or capitalized variant of the Georgian alphabet designed for headings, titles, and formal inscriptions. This character corresponds to the lowercase Mkhedruli letter "ჲ" and represents the glottal or palatal approximant sound /j/ in the Georgian language. Introduced as part of the Unicode Standard to support the formal Mtavruli case system, its existence alongside the standard "hie" reflects efforts to preserve and standardize Georgian typography, allowing for consistent capitalization in digital and printed texts.
