Source: Noto Sans Georgian Source: Browser Default

U+1CA5 "" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Khar is a character used in the Georgian script, specifically representing the capital form of the letter "Khar" in the Mtavruli case, which is a monumental or uppercase variant distinct from the standard Mkhedruli script. This character is primarily employed in decorative contexts, such as titles, inscriptions, or headings within the Georgian language, and it corresponds to the Mkhedruli letter "ქ" (pronounced as a voiceless aspirated velar plosive, similar to the English "k" in "kite"). U+1CA5 was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Georgian Extended block to support historical and stylistic typographic needs, ensuring that modern digital text can accurately represent this traditional capital form without relying on font-based transformations.
