Khmer Letter Sha Letter Meaning

ឝ is the Unicode character “KHMER LETTER SHA” (U+179D). In Khmer writing, letters represent sounds and participate in forming syllables. While the exact pronunciation can depend on the surrounding letters and Khmer orthography, “sha” generally indicates a “sh” sound category in Khmer script. Because it’s a script letter rather than a symbol with a standalone icon meaning, its primary “meaning” is its role in forming Khmer words correctly. For accurate results, use the actual Unicode character (U+179D) rather than a similar-looking glyph from a different font or script.
