U+2D15 "ⴕ" Georgian Small Letter Khar Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2D15 "ⴕ" Georgian Small Letter Khar is a distinct letter from the Georgian Mkhedruli alphabet, specifically representing the aspirated velar plosive sound /kʰ/, similar to the "k" sound in English "kite" but with a puff of air. It corresponds to the uppercase form Ⴕ (Khar) in the older Asomtavruli script and is used in the modern Georgian language primarily for writing in the Mkhedruli cursive style. While its usage has largely been supplanted by the standard Mkhedruli letter ქ in contemporary Georgian text, this small letter form appears in historical manuscripts and specialized typographic contexts, preserving the calligraphic heritage of the Georgian writing system.
