U+1CAA "" Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Can is a majuscule form of the Georgian letter "can" used in the modern Asomtavruli or Mtavruli script, which serves as an uppercase or title-case variant in the Georgian writing system. This character is part of the Unicode block for Georgian Extended, designed to complement the standard Mkhedruli script by providing a distinct capital form for use in headings, proper nouns, or emphasis. Historically derived from the ancient Asomtavruli script, the Mtavruli letter Can represents the aspirated alveolar affricate sound [t͡sʰ], similar to the "ts" in "cats" but with a stronger burst of air. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support the full range of Georgian typographic traditions, particularly in contexts where a formal or decorative capitalization is desired.
