Fi (letter)

Fi (Mkhedruli: ჶ; Mtavruli: Ჶ;^[1] Georgian: ჶი) is an additional letter of the Georgian script, now obsolete in Georgian. It was used in the 20th century in words which came from other languages such as: ჶილმი (ფილმი-Film) etc. Since this letter is not part of the original Georgian alphabet, it has no numerical value.^{[citation needed]} It is typically romanized with the letter F.^[2] Today, the letter is used in the Laz language.^[3]
