U+0E20 "ภ" Thai Character Pho Samphao Unicode Character

U+0E20 "ภ" Thai Character Pho Samphao is the 32nd letter of the Thai alphabet, representing a low class consonant with a phonetic value of /pʰ/ as in the English "p" with aspiration, similar to the sound in "pin." Its name, "Pho Samphao," translates to "sailboat," reflecting the traditional mnemonic used to teach the letter's shape, which resembles an old-fashioned sailboat. In the Thai language, this character appears in many common words, such as "ภาษา" (phaa-saa, meaning "language") and "ภาพ" (phaap, meaning "picture" or "image"), and it is distinct from the similar but different character "พ" (Pho Phan), which represents a different level of consonant class.
