How it looks in different fonts
In a book, a notebook or on a sign this character can look different. The classic style has a loop (หัว) where you start writing. Sign fonts often drop it, and handwriting makes the lines smoother. You can choose the app's font in settings.

Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the rising tone, a dead one the low tone. Marks: ◌่ → low, ◌้ → falling.
Kai says
ข gets its name from ไข่, egg. The chicken and the egg sit next to each other in the alphabet. As for which came first, Thai settled that one in my favour.
