   • Northern Thai ᨲᩣ᩠ᩃ (dtaan, “palmyra”)

The subscript form mostly used for consonant clusters, especially in Pali, is the character separately encoded as    ᩖ. For the final consonant of a syllable, the subscript form overwhelmingly used is the one formally associated with the Unicode character ᩃ, as in ᨲᩣ᩠ᩃ. As a final consonant in the vernaculars, its usage is etymological and it represents /n/.
