Khari, Hari, or Har (Asomtavruli: Ⴤ; Nuskhuri: ⴤ; Mkhedruli: ჴ; Mtavruli: Ჴ; Georgian: ჴარი, ჴარ) is the 35th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]
In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 7000.[2] It represented the voiceless uvular (aspirated) plosive /q⁽ʰ⁾/. This letter is now obsolete due to it being gradually replaced by and pronounced as the letter ხ (khani, a voiceless uvular fricative /χ/).[2] It is typically romanized with the letter Q, Qʼ, H̱, or X̣.[3]
