Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone. A dead one gets the high tone with a short vowel and the falling tone with a long one. Marks: ◌่ → falling, ◌้ → high.
Kai says
ฮ is named after นกฮูก, owl, and it's the last letter of the alphabet. The children's alphabet song ends with ฮ นกฮูก ตาโต, the big-eyed owl.
