Unicode Version 17.0

U+AB32 "ꬲ" Latin Small Letter Blackletter E is a typographic variant of the letter E designed in the blackletter or Fraktur script style, which was historically used in Central and Northern European languages, particularly in early printed German texts. Part of the Latin Extended-E block, this character is intended for use in specialized linguistic notations, manuscript studies, or historical typography, allowing modern digital text to accurately represent the distinctive angular and ornate shapes of blackletter handwriting. While it visually resembles a decorative or medieval form, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that researchers and typographers can faithfully encode and display this variant without relying on substitute fonts or images.
