U+0E24 "ฤ" Thai Character Ru is a distinctive letter in the Thai alphabet, representing a syllabic consonant or a vowel-like sound rather than a standard consonant. It is considered a "rūa" or "rœ" character, functioning as a special vowel or syllable in its own right, often pronounced as "ri" or "ri" in English approximation, and is used primarily in words of Pali, Sanskrit, or Indic origin. This character does not function as a typical initial consonant but instead serves as a standalone syllable, making it somewhat unique within the Thai writing system.
