Khutsuri is the name of a Georgian writing system which combines Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri scripts. It was predominantly used from the 9th century until the late 19th century and eventually, it was replaced by another Georgian script called Mkhedruli. However, nowadays Khutsuri is still used by the Georgian Orthodox Church. All the iconography, historical murals and stone engravings are decorated using Asomtavruli letters. The originals of many hagiographic and historic documents are performed either using Asomtavruli or Khutsuri writing systems.
All three scripts are part of the Unicode (UTF-8) since 2000 (Mkhedruli since 1991). The keyboard layout for Mkhedruli is included in every standard installation of major operating systems. The layout for Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri is mostly unavailable. This repository provides a layout for the Khutsuri script for Unix-like systems, by effectively combining both scripts at the convenient keyboard combinations.
