What ៩ means
It means nine in Khmer numerals. Read it as nine in a number written with Khmer digits.
A stone inscription from Sambor, dated 683 CE, uses Khmer numerals for a date and lists gifts to a temple. It shows the system in use then, not when the exact form ៩ began.
៩ and 9 both mean nine, but belong to different digit sets. The first keeps the number in Khmer notation; the second uses the familiar 0–9 set.
Neutral: it marks a number in Khmer-script writing and adds no conversational tone on its own.

Questions people ask
1Why does ៩ show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Khmer block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
