U+1C97 "Თ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Tan Unicode Character

U+1C97 "Თ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Tan is the uppercase monumental form of the letter "tan", the ninth letter of the Georgian alphabet, used primarily in the Georgian script’s historical Mtavruli style for headings, inscriptions, and decorative text. It corresponds to the lowercase Mkhedruli letter "თ" and represents the voiceless alveolar plosive sound /t/. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in version 11.0, released in 2018, as part of the Georgian Extended block to support the complete set of Mtavruli capital letters, which are distinct from the modern Georgian uppercase forms used in contemporary typography. Its usage preserves the traditional calligraphic and epigraphic heritage of the Georgian language.
