U+0E04 "ค" Thai Character Kho Khwai Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+0E04 "ค" Thai Character Kho Khwai is the fourteenth letter of the Thai alphabet and represents an aspirated velar plosive sound, pronounced like the English "k" as in "kite" but with a strong puff of air. It is classified as a low class consonant within the Thai tonal system, which influences the tone of a syllable when combined with a vowel and final consonant. The name "Kho Khwai" literally means "water buffalo" and is part of a traditional Thai mnemonics system where each letter is associated with a word, often an animal or object, to aid in learning. In modern usage, this character appears frequently in written Thai across both formal and informal contexts, and it is notably used in the word for oneself "ผม" (phom) for male speakers, though the letter itself is not possessive.
