Source: Browser Default
U+1C90 "Ა" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter An is a capital letter in the modern Georgian Mtavruli script, used as the uppercase form of the letter "ა" (An), the first letter of the Georgian alphabet. It was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0 in 2018 to support the Mtavruli style, which is traditionally employed for titles, headings, and decorative text in Georgian writing. This character represents the open front unrounded vowel sound /ɑ/ or /a/ and is distinct from the earlier Mkhedruli script, where capital letters were historically absent, making Mtavruli a significant typographic innovation for the Georgian language.
