È, known as E-grave, is a Latin-script character composed of the letter E and a grave accent. In English, it is sometimes used in the past tense or past participle forms of verbs in poetic texts to indicate that the final syllable should be pronounced separately. For example, blessèd would indicate the pronunciation BLESS-id, as opposed to BLEST for the word blessed. It also occurs in loanwords such as Italian caffè.
