The double 'r' ends up sounding like "un", so I suppose that, technically, the first 'r' becomes the vowel 'u' while the second converts to an 'n'. However, they are considered as a single unit, much like the 'll' or 'ch' have their own places in alphabetical order for Spanish, as if they were single letters.

Now, I've seen that the subroutines in the package file follow a specific syntax...what does a rule look like in a package file?

Also, I had a little trouble when putting my new package to use, in that the "shortcut method" in the final routine here failed, and I ended up hard-coding the code points for those characters. 

sub InThaiHCons { #High-class consonants
    return <<'END';
0E02 0E03
0E09 0E10
0E16
0E1C 0E1D
0E28 0E29
0E2A 0E2B
END
}
sub InThaiMCons { #Middle-class consonants
    return <<'END';
0E01
0E08
0E0E 0E0F
0E14 0E15
0E1A 0E1B
0E2D
END
}
