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.

A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone, a dead one the low tone. Marks: ◌่ → low, ◌้ → falling, ◌๊ → high, ◌๋ → rising.
