Usage notes edit
- 《汉语拼音方案》 (Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet) defines a standard pronunciation for each letter in Hanyu Pinyin with Zhuyin. ㄝ (/ɛ/) typically only occurs in syllables with an initial glide (e.g. ㄧㄝ (-ie /i̯ɛ/)), where it is romanized as e. When it occurs in syllables without an initial glide, however, it is romanized as ê in order to distinguish it from ㄜ (-e /ɤ/). Such instances are rare, and are only found in interjections or neologisms.
- Transcriptions of Mandarin into the Latin script often do not distinguish between the critical tonal differences employed in the Mandarin language, using words such as this one without indication of tone.
