Khari, Hari, or Har (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; 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⁾/.[3] This letter is now obsolete due to it being gradually replaced by and pronounced as the letter (khani, a voiceless uvular fricative /χ/).[2] It is typically romanized with the letter Q, , , or .[4]
