0x11B

0x11B is a hexadecimal representation used in computing to denote the Unicode code point U+011B, which corresponds to the Latin small letter E with caron, written as ě. In the Unicode standard, U+011B is part of the Latin Extended-A block and is treated as a distinct letter rather than a simple diacritic on a separate e.

The character ě is used primarily in Czech and Sorbian alphabets, where it functions as a separate letter in the alphabet. It often marks a palatalization or a specific vowel quality that can influence adjacent consonants and vowels in pronunciation. The exact realization of the sound depends on the word and linguistic context, but ě consistently represents a distinct phonological element in those languages.

In computing, ě is encoded in UTF-8 as two bytes: 0xC4 0x9B. It can also be represented in HTML and related formats as decimal character reference ě or hexadecimal reference ě. Rendering depends on fonts that include the Latin Extended-A set; many standard fonts support this character, but some may lack proper display without appropriate font support.
