U+0E24 "ฤ" Thai Character Ru is a distinctive letter in the Thai alphabet, representing a syllabic consonant or a vowel-like sound rather than a standard consonant. It is considered a "rūa" or "rœ" character, functioning as a special vowel or syllable in its own right, often pronounced as "ri" or "ri" in English approximation, and is used primarily in words of Pali, Sanskrit, or Indic origin.
