Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+044D "э" Cyrillic Small Letter E is a vowel letter used in several Cyrillic-based alphabets, including Russian, Belarusian, and Mongolian. It represents the sound /e/ as in the English word "end" and is distinct from the letter "е" (U+0435), which often denotes a palatalizing or iotated vowel. In Russian, it appears in native and loan words, but its usage is less frequent than that of "е" and it never occurs at the beginning of a word. Visually, it resembles a reversed Latin capital "E" and is written in cursive with a similar form.
