Drmccreedy: Why did you add the character æ̀ in this edit? It isn't in Unicode. Is it used in some language? —

I added it because it's one of Unicode's official named sequences (
[1]). I'm not sure which languages use it but it seems to be from the Japanese standard
JIS X 0213. Thank you so much for asking the question instead of automatically reverting my edit.

Does anyone know the origin of the grapheme? I wonder if the Christian missionaries to the English invented it to record a sound between /a/ and /e/, which they did not have in Latin, or if it already existed?

Late reply: This ligature only exists in uppercase or lowercase; where it begins a proper noun, or most words in title case, it's all uppercase: Æschylus, Æneas, Æthelwulf. Typographically it's treated as a single letter, even though one can choose to transliterate it as two separate letters, in which case only the 'A' would be in uppercase.

Was there any difference in early modern books in the use of ash when writing titles in upper or lower case?

No, most early 18th–20th century books write it as "Æschylus". ― Ö S M A N (talk ·

I hope she change her name as an adult to something much more nice and simple.

Old English name?
The article claims that Æ was called æsc in Old English, but the supporting source actually just says that the rune transliterated as æ was named æsc. This is not the same thing as the Latin character being called æsc. It's true that Þ and Ƿ inherited runic names, but unlike Þ and Ƿ, Æ wasn't originally a rune, so it might not be safe to assume it inherited a runic name. A real source for the claim should be found, or the claim should be taken out of the article.
