Char ( ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script which was historically used in four Northeast Caucasian languages using Peter von Uslar's alphabets.^[1] It was derived from the Georgian Mkhedruli letter Ch'ari (ჭ). It is romanized as Ċh for Dargwa and Lezgian, the languages in which it was formerly used.^[2] In 2022, the letter's capital and small versions were among 23 characters proposed for addition to the Unicode standard.^[3]
