What რ means
It represents a sound, not a word or reaction. Use this Mkhedruli r when writing Georgian.
The letter belongs to a tradition whose early uses included Christian scripture and worship. Early Georgian writing survives in the Bir el-Qutt inscription, around 430 CE; that dates the older script, not this exact modern shape.
Mkhedruli developed as a form for nonreligious writing. It is used in schools and everyday life, while older Georgian writing forms remain in church practice.

Questions people ask
1Why does რ show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
