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

ธ is named after ธง, tong, flag. The Thai flag has three colours: red for the nation, white for religion and blue for the monarchy.
