Khmer Vowel Sign Ii Letter Meaning
Khmer Vowel Sign II (ី) is a vowel sign used in written Khmer. Like other Khmer vowel signs, it typically appears in relation to a consonant rather than standing alone, so its position and rendered form depend on the font and shaping behavior. In Unicode, it’s represented by code point U+17B8 and has the HTML entity ី and the escapes \\17B8 (CSS) / \\u{17B8} (JavaScript). When you’re composing Khmer correctly, this character should be included as part of the vowel spelling for the target word; copying the exact character avoids encoding and rendering issues.
