How to Type ĕ (E with breve) on HTML

Published April 25, 2026, 2 min read

Need ĕ on HTML 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 ĕ, and there are a few backups below for when that one is not available.

ĕ on HTML: ĕ

Ĕ on HTML: Ĕ

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ĕ
Decimal entity	`ĕ`
Hex entity	`ĕ`
CSS content	`content: "\0115";`
JavaScript	`"\u0115"`
URL encoded	`%C4%95`
UTF-8 bytes	`C4 95`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ĕ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ĕ can also be written as e plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

The uppercase form works the same way with Shift added where a letter is typed.

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

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
