U+0364 "ͤ" Combining Latin Small Letter E Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ͤ

U+0364 "ͤ" Combining Latin Small Letter E is a diacritical mark used in historical and linguistic texts to form a digraph or ligature, most notably in Middle English or Old Norse orthography where it combines with a preceding base letter to represent a vowel sound such as the 'e' in the 'æ' ligature or as a superscript e in abbreviated forms. It is classified as a combining character, meaning it is designed to be placed directly above or attached to the previous character without adding a space, allowing it to modify the appearance and phonetic value of letters in manuscripts or scholarly transcriptions. This character belongs to the Unicode block Combining Diacritical Marks and serves as a tool for accurately representing archaic or specialized writing systems.
