Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+011B "ě" Latin Small Letter E with Caron is a distinct grapheme used primarily in languages such as Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian to represent a palatalized or softened "e" sound, often corresponding to the phonetic value [jɛ] or a similar front vowel with a slight y-glide. It is formed by combining a base Latin letter "e" with a caron diacritic, which is a small wedge-shaped mark placed above the character to indicate a modified pronunciation. This character is essential for proper orthography in these languages, where it can change the meaning of words, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard to ensure consistent digital representation across systems and fonts.
