U+1C99 "Კ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Kan Unicode Character

U+1C99 "Კ" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Kan is a capital letter form used in the Georgian Mtavruli script, representing the voiced velar plosive sound /k’/ and functioning as the uppercase equivalent of the standard Mkhedruli letter ქ. This character was introduced in Unicode version 11.0 in June 2018 as part of the Georgian Extended block, primarily for use in all-caps typography, inscriptions, and decorative headings where a distinct monumental capital style is desired. It maintains the same linguistic value as its lowercase counterpart but offers a visually distinct glyph featuring a taller, more angular design compared to Mkhedruli, reflecting the historical tradition of Mtavruli in formal Georgian writing.
