U+0116 "Ė" Latin Capital Letter E with Dot Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ė
U+0116 "Ė" Latin Capital Letter E with Dot Above is a precomposed letter used primarily in the Lithuanian language, where it represents the vowel sound [eː], though it also appears in the writing systems of several other languages such as Old English and certain linguistic transliteration schemes. This character is formed by combining a standard uppercase E with a diacritical dot placed above it, and its lowercase counterpart is U+0117 "ė". In digital text, it can be encoded directly as a single Unicode code point or composed through the sequence of the base letter E followed by the combining dot above character (U+0307), allowing for flexibility in text processing and display.
