Uppercase E with stroke (Ɇ) is the Unicode character at U+0246 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH STROKE — a capital E crossed by a diagonal bar, used in Livonian. The URL calls that bar a “diagonal stroke.”

Not the same ɇ · Ē · €
Prefer Ɇ or Ɇ in HTML markup. You can also type Ɇ in UTF-8. For the lowercase letter, use ɇ (ɇ). There is no &Estroke;.
Using Hex Code: Ɇ
Using HTML Code: Ɇ
Using CSS Entity: Ɇ
Typed directly: Ɇ
Case pair: Ɇ / ɇ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0246 → Ɇ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 582 → Ɇ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \0246 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ɇ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ɇ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with Ɇ / ɇ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0246 — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0246.
vs Ē
Not macron Ē
Ē (Ē) has a bar above the letter. Ɇ has a diagonal stroke through it.
vs €
Not the euro sign
€ (€) is a currency symbol. Ɇ is a letter used in Livonian orthography.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &Estroke; for U+0246. Use Ɇ or Ɇ.
Fonts
Needs Latin Extended-B coverage
Some UI fonts omit rarer Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0246 belongs in CSS strings. Ɇ / Ɇ belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language text
When this letter appears in Livonian words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
