U+1783 "ឃ" Khmer Letter Kho is a glyph representing the aspirated voiceless velar stop consonant sound, roughly equivalent to the "kh" sound in English. It belongs to the Khmer script, which is used to write the Khmer language of Cambodia, and is the fifth letter of its alphabet following the unaspirated "ក" (Ka). As a component of the syllable-based writing system, "ឃ" serves both as an independent consonant and as a subscript form when combined with other characters in complex cluster formations, and it is integral to the spelling and pronunciation of numerous Cambodian words, including those in historical and religious texts.
