Usage notes [edit]
- Normally used for words of either Ancient Greek or Latin origin.
- Uncommon in modern English mainly due to its absence in English typographical equipment.
- In American English: this symbol is usually absent in favor of e whenever it has the sound /ɛ/ (SAMPA /E/) or /iː/ (SAMPA /i:/), but not when it makes a different sound, as in this example: ‘formulæ’.
