    I do not think these Georgian characters can be considered obsolete.
    True, they are no longer used frequently in modern texts, but they
    have been massively used during the past 2000 years and are often used
    in contemporary writings when quoting older proverbs or older texts.

    U+10F6 ( ჶ ) has slightly shorter history though, as it was introduced
    later and has been mainly used for foreign words. But still, I am not
    sure we can consider it obsolete.
