U0E44

U+0E44 is a Unicode code point in the Thai block, assigned to a single Thai character. The Thai block ranges from U+0E00 to U+0E7F and contains the signs, consonants, vowels, and tone markers used to write Thai. As with other Thai characters, the precise categorization (letter, combining mark, or punctuation) is defined by the Unicode Character Database; some Thai code points represent consonants, others vowel signs, and others diacritic marks that modify surrounding letters.

In digital typography, U+0E44 is typically rendered by Thai fonts that support the Thai script. Rendering may involve shaping and reordering, since Thai uses combining vowels and tone marks that attach to consonants and may appear before, after, above or below the base letter. Rendering engines use Unicode Normalization forms and font layout features to display the correct glyph sequence.

Historically, the Thai script was added to Unicode in the early stages of the standard, with the Thai block established to cover the necessary range. U+0E44 has remained part of the canonical Thai encoding and is used in modern Thai text, including educational, governmental, and digital media contexts. For precise information about the glyph name and properties, consult the Unicode Character Database entry for U+0E44 or the Unicode charts for the Thai block.
