U+0E4D "ํ" Thai Character Nikhahit Unicode Character

U+0E4D "ํ" Thai Character Nikhahit is a combining diacritical mark used in the Thai script, primarily employed in Sanskrit and Pali transliterations to represent a nasalization of the vowel sound it modifies. Unlike standard Thai vowels that appear as separate characters, the Nikhahit is a superscript dot-like mark that attaches to a preceding consonant or vowel symbol, serving as a notation for the anusvara sound common in Indic languages. Its usage in Thai text is largely restricted to religious, historical, or scholarly contexts, as it does not appear in everyday modern Thai writing.
