Khmer Vowel Sign Oe Letter Meaning
ើ is the Khmer script vowel sign known as “Khmer Vowel Sign OE” (Unicode U+17BE). In Khmer writing, vowel signs are typically used in combination with consonant letters to form the correct syllable pronunciation. Instead of standing alone, this character acts as a diacritic-like mark whose position and visual form are handled by the Khmer text shaping rules of the rendering system. When you type or paste Khmer text, the vowel sign needs to be present alongside the relevant consonant for the syllable to be read correctly. Copy it directly for accurate reuse and use Unicode escapes for reliable implementation in software.
