What ย means
It represents a sound, not a meaning by itself. Think of it as a Thai y, but read it within the whole word: its position affects its job.
When typing Thai, enter vowel signs that sit to the left of ย before the letter itself. Their written order differs from their spoken order: you pronounce the initial consonant before those vowels.

Questions people ask
1Why does ย show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
