U+1E14 "Ḕ" Latin Capital Letter E with Macron and Grave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ḕ
U+1E14 "Ḕ" Latin Capital Letter E with Macron and Grave is a precomposed letter in the Latin script used primarily for the transliteration or phonetic notation of certain languages, where it represents the vowel "e" with both a macron (indicating a long vowel) and a grave accent (indicating a falling or low tone). This character is part of the Latin Extended Additional block and is constructed by combining a base "E" with two diacritical marks, making it distinct from a sequence of separate characters. It is often employed in academic or linguistic contexts, such as in the transcription of ancient or tonal languages, to precisely denote specific pronunciation features that a plain "E" or a single diacritic cannot capture.
