Ghani (letter)

Ghani, or Ghan (Asomtavruli: Ⴖ, Nuskhuri: ⴖ, Mkhedruli: ღ, Mtavruli: Ღ; Georgian: ღანი, ღან) is the 26th letter of the three Georgian scripts. In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 700. In the Georgian language, Ghani’s phonemic realisation can be classified as a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, although it is argued that it can also be a voiced uvular fricative /ʁ/, depending on the context it appears in. It is typically romanized with the digraph Gh or with the letters Ḡ, Ǧ, Ġ, and Ɣ. The mkhedruli form has become popular as an emoticon in the Western world due to its resemblance to a heart symbol and as part of a "love" emoticon, is often rendered as: ღ <3, and sometimes ღ(✿◠ᴗ◠)ღ
