U+0247 "ɇ" Latin Small Letter E with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ɇ
U+0247 "ɇ" Latin Small Letter E with Stroke is a typographic variant of the letter E that has a horizontal line or stroke drawn through its middle, which is used primarily in certain Latin-based orthographies and transliteration systems to denote a distinct vowel sound. This character is part of the Latin Extended-B block and is employed in the writing of some African languages, such as in the Mfumte language of Cameroon, where it represents a close-mid central unrounded vowel. The stroke distinguishes it from the standard lowercase e, ensuring clarity in phonetic or linguistic contexts where a modified vowel is required.
