U+0205 "ȅ" Latin Small Letter E with Double Grave Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ȅ

U+0205 "ȅ" Latin Small Letter E with Double Grave is a typographic variant of the letter "e" distinguished by two grave accents stacked above it, a diacritical mark primarily used in certain scholarly or phonetic transcriptions, most notably in the notation of the Slovene and sometimes Croatian languages to indicate a specific tone or stress pattern in linguistic studies. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-B block and is classified as a lowercase letter, with its uppercase counterpart being U+0204 "Ȅ". It is distinct from the more common single grave accent and serves a specialized purpose in representing the long rising tone in tonal notation, often appearing in dictionaries or linguistic texts to denote precise pronunciation. This character might be difficult to see or may not display correctly if the system does not support it. The Unicode character is "ȅ".
