U+0E32 "า" Thai Character Sara Aa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
า
U+0E32 "า" Thai Character Sara Aa is a combining vowel symbol used in the Thai script to represent the long vowel sound "aa," similar to the "a" in "father." It appears as a small, curved mark placed to the right of a consonant letter, where it modifies the consonant's inherent vowel sound to create a long, open "ah" pronunciation. This character is essential for spelling many common Thai words and is always used in conjunction with a preceding consonant, never standing alone in standard writing. It belongs to the Thai block of Unicode and is classified as a spacing vowel mark, meaning it occupies its own visual space rather than combining directly with the consonant above or below.
