ែ (Khmer Vowel Sign AE) is a vowel mark in the Khmer script. In Khmer writing, vowel signs are combined with consonant letters to form syllables; the vowel sign position and visual layout are determined by the Khmer text rendering engine and fonts. When you type or paste ែ, it should be interpreted as the vowel sign associated with the surrounding Khmer consonant, not as a standalone vowel letter.
