This stems from a major change (a tone split) that occurred historically in the phonology of the Thai language.

Northern Thai uses 5 independent vowels with their own code points, namely ᩍ, ᩎ, ᩏ, ᩐ and ᩑ. [3]: Section 3 Section 3 In Northern Thai the 8th independent vowel is no different from the sequence of the consonant ᩋ and dependent vowel ᩰ , i.e. ᩋᩰ , and they are therefore both encoded <U+1A4B LETTER A, U+1A70 SIGN OO>.

It is informally referred to as Latin/Thai. It is nearly identical to the national Thai standard TIS-620 (1990). The sole difference is that ISO/IEC 8859-11 allocates non-breaking space to code 0xA0, while TIS-620 leaves it undefined.
Kho khuat (ฃ ขวด, khuat is Thai for 'bottle') is the third letter of the Thai alphabet. It is a high consonant in the Thai tripartite consonant system (ไตรยางศ์, informally อักษรสามหมู่). It represents the sound [k h] as an initial consonant and [k̚] as a final consonant.
In the Thai and Tai Lü writing systems, the tone value in the pronunciation of a written syllable depends on the tone class of the initial consonant, vowel length and syllable structure. In contrast, the Tai Nuea writing system has a very straightforward spelling of tones, with one letter (or diacritic) for each tone.
