U+10F2 "ჲ" Georgian Letter Hie Unicode Character

U+10F2 "ჲ" Georgian Letter Hie is a letter from the Georgian script, historically known as "hie" and used in the Khutsuri or ecclesiastical orthography of the Old Georgian language, where it represented a palatal glide sound similar to the English "y" in "yes." In the modern Mkhedruli alphabet, this character is obsolete for standard Georgian, though it remains in use for the Svan and Mingrelian languages as part of the extended Georgian alphabet, typically denoting a semivowel or palatal approximant. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves an important aspect of Georgia's linguistic heritage, allowing for the accurate digital representation of historical and minority language texts.
