Ɇ (lowercase: ɇ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from E with the addition of a diagonal stroke through the letter. It is used in the 1989 orthography of the Mazahua language, where it represents [ɛ], as well in a few other languages of Mexico such as Chinantec of Ojitlán or Chichimeca Jonaz language.[citation needed]
Both the capital and lowercase variants of E with stroke were added to Unicode in 2004. In the Secretaría de Educación Pública de México's alphabet for the Indigenous language Mazahua, the version of a letter with a slash through it is used to mark a nasalized vowel.[1]
Ɇ is also used in some alphabets for the Tlahuica language (also known as Pjyɇkakjo or Ocuiltec). In these alphabets, the slash indicates a centralized version of a vowel, so ɇ represents a mid central vowel [ə].[2]
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.[3]
