U+1CB5 "Ჵ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hoe Unicode Character

U+1CB5 "Ჵ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hoe is a rare and specialized glyph used in the Georgian script, specifically for the Mtavruli uppercase form of the letter "hoe," which corresponds to the lowercase Mkhedruli letter "ჵ." This character represents a vowel sound in the Georgian language, typically transliterated as "oe" or "ō," and is primarily found in historical or ecclesiastical contexts, as it is not commonly used in modern Georgian writing. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Georgian Extended block, which was introduced to support traditional Georgian capitalization, a practice that was revived in certain formal and monumental inscriptions.
