U+2D1A "ⴚ" Georgian Small Letter Can Unicode Character

U+2D1A "ⴚ" Georgian Small Letter Can is a letter from the modern Mxedruli script used to write the Georgian language, where it represents the aspirated voiceless palatal affricate sound /tʃʰ/, similar to the "ch" in "chop" but with a strong puff of air. Historically, it derives from the ancient Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri scripts, evolving through a long calligraphic tradition to its current cursive form. This character is part of the Georgian Extended block in Unicode, which was added to support the full range of lowercase letters in the modern alphabet, and it is used in everyday Georgian text, such as in the word "ⴚⴀⴁⴀⴁⴈ" (chababi), meaning "pepper."
