Need ĕ on Chromebook for a name, an address or a word in another language? You do not have to copy it from a website every time. The fastest method is Ctrl+Shift+U, 0115, Space, and there are a few backups below for when that one is not available.

About the letter ĕ

ĕ is Unicode U+0115, named LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH BREVE. A small cup above a letter. Romanian uses ă, Turkish ğ, Vietnamese ă, and Esperanto ŭ. See the ĕ character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

Ctrl+Shift+U does not work in some Android apps on ChromeOS. Use it in Chrome and web apps.
Make sure you type the code in lowercase or uppercase; both work, but do not include "U+".
If nothing happens, check that an input method other than the default English one is not active.
