Definition

What Is Uppercase E Caron?

Uppercase E caron (Ě) is the Unicode character at U+011A in Latin Extended-A. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CARON — a capital E with a háček (caron) above it, used in Czech and related orthographies.

Remember

Character     Ě
Unicode       U+011A
Named entity  &Ecaron;  (capital E)
Hex entity    &#x11A;
Decimal       &#282;
CSS escape    \011A
Not the same  ě · Ê · Ĕ

Prefer &Ecaron; in HTML markup — the capital E in the name matters. Numeric forms and typing Ě in UTF-8 also work. For the lowercase letter, use &ecaron; (ě).

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Ecaron; (capital E) is the clearest HTML form for U+011A. Lowercase &ecaron; is a different character (ě).

2. Hex: U+011A → Ě in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 282 → Ě. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \011A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ě after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / label: paste Ě in UTF-8, or place it inside a Czech word such as V&Ecaron;C with lang="cs".

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+011A.

Case

&Ecaron; ≠ &ecaron;

&Ecaron; → Ě (capital). &ecaron; → ě (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Ê

Not a circumflex

Ê (Ê) is a pointed hat. Ě is a háček/caron — do not swap them in Czech vs French.

vs Ĕ

Not a breve

Ĕ (&Ebreve;) is a short curved mark. The caron 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

\011A belongs in CSS strings. &Ecaron; / Ě / Ě belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language context

When Ě appears in real words (e.g. Czech), keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
