Latin Letter Open E

  Ɛ  , Latin Capital Letter Open E, (Unicode number: U+0190   HTML-code: Ɛ   Version: 1.0 - October of 1991) is a member of the Latin Extended-B block and is a member of these sets (Uppercase Letter, Alphabetic, Latin Script, Upper, Non-European and historic Latin and ALetter).
  ɛ  , Latin Small Letter Open E, ( Unicode number: U+025B   HTML-code: ɛ   Version: 1.0 - October of 1991 ) is a member of the IPA Extensions block and is a member of these sets (Lowercase Letter, Alphabetic, Latin Script, Lower and ALetter).

 They are symbols #401 and #604 on the Unicode table.  They are Latinized versions of the Greek Letter Epsilon created for the IPA  wp.

The Unicode consortium admits that the name of this symbol was a mistake;  the upper cased should have been called "Latin Capital Letter Epsilon" and the lowercase should have been called "Latin Small Letter Epsilon".
