u00e9

u00e9 refers to the Unicode code point for the Latin small letter e with acute, written as U+00E9. In many programming and data contexts, the sequence \u00e9 (or uppercase \u00E9) is used as an escape form to represent the character é within strings that must be encoded in ASCII or in environments that do not display the character directly.

Encoding details include its representation in different Unicode encodings. In UTF-8, U+00E9 is encoded as the two bytes 0xC3 0xA9. In ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1), it is a single byte 0xE9. In UTF-16, it is encoded as 0x00E9. The character also appears in many Latin-script alphabets and is frequently used in Romance languages.

The character é serves as a phonetic and orthographic indicator, often signaling a specific vowel quality or stress pattern. It appears in words across several languages, including French (été, café), Spanish (perdón, bebé), and Portuguese (coração, mês), among others. When a direct character cannot be used, the escape form u00e9 or the HTML entity é may be employed to preserve the intended text.

Related characters include the uppercase form É (U+00C9) and other accented Latin letters such as à (U+00E0) and á (U+00E1). In HTML and many programming languages, both named and numeric representations exist for practical use: é, é, \u00e9, and \u00E9.
