Thai Character Mai Ek Letter Meaning
Thai Character Mai Ek (่), Unicode U+0E48, is a Thai tone mark. It is typically written as a combining character that attaches to a preceding Thai consonant to indicate how that syllable should be pronounced. In practice, it changes the tone of the word it modifies, so the same consonant letter can sound different depending on whether Mai Ek appears. When you copy and paste, it should keep its position relative to the Thai base character; in web text, using the correct Unicode code point (่ / U+0E48) helps ensure consistent rendering across platforms.
