U+0E0C "ฌ" Thai Character Cho Choe is the 12th letter of the Thai alphabet, representing a high-class consonant pronounced as an aspirated voiceless palatal stop, similar to the "ch" sound in the English word "church" but with a stronger burst of air. Its name "Cho Choe" refers to the Thai word for a type of tree or bush, specifically the "cho" tree, serving as a mnemonic for learning the letter.
