Unicode Version 17.0
Ĕ
U+0114 "Ĕ" Latin Capital Letter E with Breve is a specialized letter used primarily in Romanian and some linguistic transcription systems. It represents the letter E with a breve symbol above it, which indicates a short vowel sound, typically distinguished from the regular Latin E. In Romanian, it appears in some older texts or specific contexts, but it is not a standard part of the modern Romanian alphabet, being largely replaced by the letter E or used in phonetic notations. Additionally, it can be found in the transliteration of certain Old Church Slavonic or other historical languages, as well as in academic writing for languages such as Latin or Greek to mark a short vowel.
