There is no problem with Khutsuri, as Asomtavruli/Khutsuri pair is a normal uppercase/lowercase pair. Despite many Khutsuri texts tend to use Asomtavruli in the way the modern Georgian use Mtavruli (either lowercase or ALL CAPS), title case is very common for Khutsuri (during the whole period of 11th-20th centuries, which is more than enough). So, both Word and WORD are correct for Khutsuri. However, Title Case in the modern Georgian text is an explicit error (but it will keep readability, of course). *> The long-term question is whether it should be split into upper-casing that has no effect on> Georgian and emphatic-casing that also affects Georgian. * This would be a good solution with Mtavruli being encoded. Sincerely, Alex.
