Something I've always wondered...

What is up with that little "e" next to the volume on beauty products and things like that? An example here in this product listing from Temptalia. Anyone know what it means? It's always bugged me!!

sorry. I can't get that link

Really? Weird it works fine for me, just a link to a Temptalia image! How about now:

I've always wondered what that was!

Ohhhh!! Well, you learn something new every day!!

Estimated

Design : This character could be considered a logotype. It is used in Europe for product packaging to show the estimated volume of the product. Its design is a standardised shape of a sans serif lowercase e with straight inner contours.
