Khmer Independent Vowel Quu Letter Meaning
ឩ is the Khmer independent vowel QUU, a Unicode character used when a vowel sound is written as a separate letter (independent), rather than as a combining mark attached to a consonant. In practical Khmer text, it typically appears at the start of syllables/words where this vowel form is required, helping represent Khmer vowel spelling conventions. If you are building Khmer text, typography, or localization, this character is part of the standard Khmer script block and should be used exactly as written when the corresponding vowel letter is needed.
