E with stroke
Ɇ (lowercase: ɇ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from E with the addition of a diagonal stroke through the letter. Both the capital and lowercase variants of E with stroke were added to Unicode in 2004.
It represents [ɛ] in Mazahua and Chinantec of Ojitlán.[1]
It represents [æ] in the Chichimeca Jonaz alphabet .[2]
It' is also used in the Ocuiltec alphabet where it represents a mid central vowel [ə].[3]
The Secretaría de Educación Pública de México's practical orthography for indigenous languages uses e with a stroke to indicate a nasalized vowel.[1]
Jacques Pelletier du Mans used ɇ in his proposal for the reform of French orthography Dialoguɇ Dɇ l’Ortografɇ e Prononciation Françoęſɇ (1550), but this failed to gain traction.[4]
