U+1CBA "Ჺ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Ain Unicode Character

U+1CBA "Ჺ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Ain is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, introduced as part of version 11.0 in June 2018 to support the Mtavruli (uppercase) form of the Georgian script. This character represents the capital version of the Georgian letter Ain, which corresponds to a low back vowel sound in the modern Georgian language, and its inclusion allows for proper typographic representation in all-caps text, titles, and other contexts where uppercase letters are required, complementing the previously encoded lowercase form.
