U+00E6 "æ" Latin Small Letter Ae is a single grapheme known as a ligature, originally formed from the letters "a" and "e" combined, and it represents a distinct vowel sound in languages such as Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese, where it is considered a separate letter of the alphabet. In English, it is used primarily in historical or loanwords like "encyclopædia" or "archæology," though it has largely been replaced by the separate letters "ae" in modern writing. Its uppercase counterpart is U+00C6 "Æ".
