Unicode Version 17.0
Ჹ
U+1CB9 "Ჹ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Turned Gan is a typographic variant of the standard Georgian Gan letter, used in the Mtavruli uppercase style that often appears in titles or decorative writing. This character, whose lowercase counterpart is the turned gan in the Asomtavruli script, represents the same phonetic value as the standard Gan but is distinguished by its rotated form, where the letter is flipped horizontally. It is part of the Georgian Extended block in Unicode, introduced to support historic and stylistic variants of the Georgian alphabet, and its use is primarily in specialized text or inscriptions where such a rotated glyph is desired for visual or orthographic purposes.
