U+2D21 "ⴡ" Georgian Small Letter He Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ⴡ
U+2D21 "ⴡ" Georgian Small Letter He is a letter from the Georgian script, specifically representing the small or lowercase form of the letter "He," which corresponds to the sound /h/ or a voiceless glottal fricative. It is part of the Unicode block for the "Georgian Supplement," which was added to support the rounded or "Khutsuri" (ecclesiastical) style of the Georgian alphabet used historically in religious texts, distinguishing it from the modern Mkhedruli script that typically uses uppercase-only forms. This character allows for the accurate digital representation of ancient Georgian manuscripts where case distinction was important.
