F = Q × Double-struck italic capital E
Force
SI unit: N (Newton) "Laddning" (English?)
SI unit: C (Coulomb) "Fältstyrka" (English?)
SI unit: N/C
This double-struck capital E is sometimes used instead of a standard, italic capital E to distinguish it from energy. It's at least used for this purpose in Sweden. I'm sorry that I don't know the proper English names for the Q and the "double-struck italic capital E" units, but I hope that someone on this list with knowledge in physics can help identifying their names from the units.

Yes. In HTML this would be "<i>𝔼</i>".
