Unicode Version 17.0
Ȅ
U+0204 "Ȅ" Latin Capital Letter E with Double Grave is a specialized letter used primarily in certain phonetic transcription systems and a few lesser known Latin based orthographies for specific languages. It represents the standard uppercase letter E modified with a double grave accent, which indicates a particular tone contour such as a falling then rising tone in some scholarly or dialectal notations. The character is distinct from the more common single grave accented letter È and is part of the Latin Extended B block of Unicode. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent digital representation and data exchange for academic texts and linguistic documentation where this tonal marking is required.
