U+0E36 "ึ" Thai Character Sara Ue Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ึ
U+0E36 "ึ" Thai Character Sara Ue is a combining vowel mark used in the Thai script to represent the short vowel sound /ɯ/, which is similar to the vowel in the English word "good" but with unrounded lips. This character is always placed above a consonant letter, and it modifies the inherent vowel sound of that consonant to produce the distinct "ue" sound found in words like "ถือ" (to hold). In Thai typography, it is classified as a tone-mark-like vowel due to its vertical positioning, and it must be used in conjunction with a base consonant character to form a valid syllable, as it cannot stand alone.
