U00EB

U+00EB is the Unicode code point for the LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS, represented by the character ë. It corresponds to the hexadecimal value 00EB and the decimal value 235. The character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block and is included to support several written languages that use e with a diaeresis as a distinct letter or diacritic.

In terms of encoding, U+00EB has multiple common representations. In UTF-8 it is encoded as two bytes: C3 AB. In ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1) it appears as the single byte EB. In UTF-16, the code point is stored as 00EB (in either big-endian or little-endian form, with an appropriate byte order mark if used). In HTML, the character can be written as ë, or referenced numerically as ë or ë.

Usage and language context vary. ë is a distinct letter in Albanian, where it represents a specific mid-central vowel and affects alphabetical ordering in dictionaries. It is also found in Luxembourgish and in various loanwords or proper nouns in other languages, where it signals a pronunciation or orthographic distinction from plain e. In general text, its presence indicates the need to render the diaeresis diacritic accurately in appropriate fonts.

Uppercase counterpart and typography: the uppercase form is U+00CB LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS (Ë). The character is widely supported by modern fonts and rendering systems, though display may vary with font availability and encoding setup.
