Thai Character Mai Tho Letter Meaning
Thai Mai Tho (้) is a diacritic mark in the Thai script. In Thai writing, it modifies how a consonant is pronounced and how the syllable is spelled within the broader system of Thai orthography. Visually, it is placed above the consonant it affects, so the same base consonant can look different depending on whether this mark is present. When working with text in apps, fonts, or HTML/CSS, make sure the correct Unicode character is used (U+0E49) to get consistent rendering across systems.
