Source: Browser Default
U+0E05 "ฅ" Thai Character Kho Khon is a letter from the Thai alphabet, representing the sound [kʰ] as a voiceless aspirated velar plosive, similar to the "k" in the English word "kite." It is classified as a low-class consonant in Thai, which influences the tone of the syllable in which it appears. The name "Kho Khon" translates to "person," and the letter is distinguished from the similar-looking "Kho Khai" (ข) by a different associated word. While it was historically used in Thai writing, its usage has become extremely rare in modern standard Thai, having been largely replaced by the character "ค" (Kho Khwai) in most contemporary texts.
