CategoryLatin-1 Supplement7. Letters
DescriptionThe Unicode character ë, or U+00EB, is known as "Latin Small Letter E with Diaeresis". It is part of the "Latin-1 Supplement" block, which includes various characters used in Western European languages. This character falls under the "Letter, Lowercase" category. Visually, it represents the lowercase letter 'e', with two dots (called a diaeresis or umlaut) placed above it. In various languages, including German, Dutch, and French, the diaeresis marks a change in pronunciation. For example, in Dutch, 'ë' indicates that the vowel should be pronounced separately from the one preceding it. In French, it is used to indicate that the 'e' is not silent. This character is also used in other linguistic contexts, such as transliteration of non-Latin scripts. As with other characters, the specific usage of the Latin Small Letter E with Diaeresis can depend on the language and context.
