U+2D17 "ⴗ" Georgian Small Letter Qar Unicode Character

U+2D17 "ⴗ" Georgian Small Letter Qar is a character from the Georgian script's lowercase alphabet, specifically used in the modern Georgian language to represent a uvular or glottal sound like the English "q" or a hard "k" produced at the back of the throat. This letter is part of the Mkhedruli writing system, the current standard secular script for Georgian, and its uppercase counterpart is the capital Qar, encoded at U+10D7. While the Mkhedruli script is unicameral in most modern contexts, this character is primarily a typographic or historical form, and it appears in Unicode's Georgian supplement block for compatibility with lowercase cursive or traditional calligraphic styles.
