U+17BD "ួ" Khmer Vowel Sign Ua is a combining diacritical mark used in the Khmer script, the official writing system of Cambodia, to represent the vowel sound "ua" as in the English word "ruin." It is classified as a spacing vowel sign, meaning it is placed after the base consonant it modifies rather than above or below it, and it alters the inherent vowel of that consonant to produce the "ua" diphthong. This character is commonly found in modern and classical Khmer texts, playing a crucial role in accurately spelling and pronouncing words with this specific vowel sound within the Southeast Asian language.
