U+1CB6 "Ჶ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Fi Unicode Character

U+1CB6 "Ჶ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Fi is a typographic uppercase form used in the modern Georgian Mtavruli script, which is distinct from the standard Mkhedruli lowercase and serves primarily for titles, headings, or decorative text. It represents the sound /f/ in Georgian, though this letter was historically adopted to transcribe foreign words and is less common than native Georgian consonants. The character is part of a Unicode block added to support the formal capital letter style of the Georgian alphabet, which lacks a true case distinction in its traditional writing system but uses Mtavruli for emphasis or stylistic capitalization.
