Please see the illustration above to learn how to write the Thai letter Ho Nok-Huk (ฮ). This letter is the secondary Thai letter which sounds like an "H" in English. It looks like an O ang with a line through the top-right. It can be easy to confuse with So suea when reading.

Writing tips:
Start with the inner loop - make a little loop near the center counter-clockwise until it closes back in on itself, then just keep going down to the bottom. At the bottom, start moving the lineto the right side of the character, then change directions and go up again about three-fourths the way to the top, start arching back over to the left. Once at the left end, make a wide loop going down around and to the right, then cross the arch in the up-right direction to finish the tail.
