There are two different processes: transliteration (which is by letter) and
transscription (which is by sound).
If transliteration is what you mean, I just checked with the ICU online demo
at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/tr, and "e" is transliterated as
U+090E "ऎ" DEVANAGARI LETTER SHORT E*. ICU transliteration for Devanagari is
based on ISCII (for the exact composition, see the last section of
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Transliteration.html, called
"Script Transliteration Sources".
Mark
* I use the demo fairly often simply to get hex converted to and from
characters, and characters converted to and from names.

Subject: Hindi characters for transcribing the sound "e"
With reference to the FAQ:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/indic.html#13, I would like to know what
are the Hindi characters used to transcribe the sound "e" (as in English
"bet", "bed", "red" etc.) in Unicode.
Thanks
