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 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

ฅ is named after คน, person, and like ฃ it's out of use. The word คน is now written with ค.
