Definition

What Is Uppercase E Breve?

Uppercase E breve (Ĕ) is the Unicode character at U+0114 in Latin Extended-A. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH BREVE — a capital E with a short curved mark (breve) above it, used in linguistic notation and transliteration.

Remember

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Ebreve; (capital E) is the clearest HTML form for U+0114. Lowercase &ebreve; is a different character (ĕ).

2. Hex: U+0114 → Ĕ in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 276 → Ĕ. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \0114 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ĕ after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / pair: paste Ĕ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with &Ebreve; / &ebreve;.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+0114.

Case

&Ebreve; ≠ &ebreve;

&Ebreve; → Ĕ (capital). &ebreve; → ĕ (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Ê

Not a circumflex

Ê (Ê) is a pointed hat. Ĕ is a short curved breve — do not swap them in French vs linguistic texts.

vs Ě

Not a caron

Ě (&Ecaron;) is a háček (common in Czech). The breve looks similar in some fonts but is a different character.

Fonts

Needs Latin Extended-A coverage

Most modern fonts include Latin Extended-A. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0114 belongs in CSS strings. &Ebreve; / Ĕ / Ĕ belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language context

When Ĕ appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
