Unicode Version 17.0
Ě
U+011A "Ě" Latin Capital Letter E with Caron is a letter used primarily in the Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian alphabets, where it represents a palatalized or softened "E" sound, similar to the "ye" in the English word "yes." It is composed of a standard Latin capital E combined with a caron diacritic, a small v-shaped mark above the letter, which indicates a specific pronunciation distinct from a plain E. This character is part of the Latin Extended-A Unicode block and is encoded for digital text to support accurate representation of these Slavic languages in computing and typography.
