## How the Old English E is built

The capital E is a rounded form with a curled tongue in the middle rather than three straight arms. The lowercase e is a narrow box with a broken diagonal that closes the eye.

## Easily confused with

Capital E resembles capital C. The E has a middle stroke; the C does not.

## Where people use it

E is the letter of Est., the classic way to write a founding year on logos and tattoos (Est. 2010). Pair it with the Roman numeral style for the year.

## Example words

- Eternal: 𝕰𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖑
- Emily: 𝕰𝖒𝖎𝖑𝖞
- Est. 2010: 𝕰𝖘𝖙. 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟎
