Definition

What Is Uppercase E Macron?

Uppercase E with macron (Ē) is the Unicode character at U+0112 in Latin Extended-A. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH MACRON — a capital E with a horizontal bar above it, used in Latvian, Lithuanian, and Latin.

Remember

Character     Ē
Unicode       U+0112
Named entity  &Emacr;  (capital E)
Hex entity    &#x112;
Decimal       &#274;
CSS escape    \0112
Not the same  ē · Ė · Ę

Prefer &Emacr; in HTML markup — the capital E in the name matters. Numeric forms and typing Ē in UTF-8 also work. For the lowercase letter, use &emacr; (ē).

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Emacr; (capital E) is the clearest HTML form for U+0112. Lowercase &emacr; is a different character (ē).

2. Hex: U+0112 → Ē in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 274 → Ē. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \0112 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ē after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / label: paste Ē in UTF-8, or build Latvian words like &Emacr;ka with lang="lv".

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+0112.

Case

&Emacr; ≠ &emacr;

&Emacr; → Ē (capital). &emacr; → ē (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Ė

Not a dot above

Ė (&Edot;) has a single dot. Ē has a horizontal bar — both appear in Baltic orthographies, so do not swap them.

vs Ę

Not an ogonek

Ę (&Eogon;) hangs a hook under E. A macron sits above the letter.

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

\0112 belongs in CSS strings. &Emacr; / Ē / Ē belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language context

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