Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0190 "Ɛ" Latin Capital Letter Open E is a letter used primarily in the orthographies of several African languages, such as Akan, Ewe, and Lingala, where it represents a vowel sound similar to the English "e" in the word "bed." It is visually distinct from the standard Latin capital E, featuring a rounded, reversed shape that resembles a backwards epsilon or a stylized numeral 3. This character is also employed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as the uppercase variant of the open-mid front unrounded vowel, though its widespread adoption is most notable in the context of African linguistic standardization.
