Zeni, or Zen (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: ზ Mtavruli: Ზ; Georgian: ზენი, ზენ) is the 7th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 7.[2] Zeni commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/,[3] like the pronunciation of z in "zebra". It is typically romanized with the letter Z.[4]
