Latin epsilon

Latin epsilon or open E (majuscule: Ɛ, minuscule: ɛ) is a letter of the extended Latin alphabet, based on the lowercase of the Greek letter epsilon (ε). It occurs in the orthographies of many Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan languages, such as Ewe, Akan, Lingala, Dinka and Maasai, for the vowel [ɛ] or [e̙], and is included in the African reference alphabet.

Fante translation of the Book of Mormon; note the use of the Latin epsilon in the word N'AHYƐMU.

In the Berber Latin alphabet currently used in Algerian Berber school books,[1] and before that proposed by the French institute INALCO, it represents a voiced pharyngeal fricative [ʕ]. Some authors use ƹayin ⟨ƹ⟩ instead; both letters are similar in shape with the Arabic ʿayn ⟨ع⟩.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) uses various forms of the Latin epsilon:

The Uralic Phonetic Alphabet uses various forms of the Latin epsilon:[2]

  • U+1D08 LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED OPEN E
  • U+1D4B MODIFIER LETTER SMALL OPEN E
  • U+1D4C MODIFIER LETTER SMALL TURNED OPEN E

Latin epsilon is called "Open E" in Unicode.[3]

 
It looks similar to the lowercase epsilon.
