Why yes. It's known as the ash. You can still use it in English if you want to be fancy. Or if your name calls for it. :p

Technically, the diphthongs in Latin-derived words such as aesthetic and amoeba are combined and pronounced as one new vowel (æsthetic, amœba), but in English they are simplified and broken up into individual letters (which makes their pronunciation counter-intuitive unless you've heard the word spoken before).

Or an "e" sound like "æon"
