Georgian: the script, three romanisation schemes and the fold.

Modern Georgian is written in Mkhedruli, thirty-three letters with no case, so a transliteration carries no capitals unless the source was set in Mtavruli (the capital forms Unicode added in 2018, used for emphasis and all-capitals headings). There is one orthography, so variant() has nothing to say. The five archaic letters ჱ ჲ ჳ ჴ ჵ of older texts are rendered by the schemes that define them and folded onto their modern values.

Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri, the older scripts, are encoded separately and are not handled.
