Like other Khmer signs, it is used in combination with Khmer letters, where its position relative to surrounding characters can affect how the writing is formed and displayed. In everyday terms, you can think of it as a component of Khmer orthography: it modifies Khmer text structure rather than acting like a standalone Latin punctuation mark.
