How to write "ℰ"

Question

could anyone please tell me how I can write "ℰ" in latex in both text and math enviroment? I have already tried $\mathscr{E}$ and $\mathcal{E}$ , but none of those are satisfying.

What I want to have is

enter image description here

but not any of these

What do you mean, "in both text and math enviroment"? If it is a mathematical symbol, typeset it in math mode, if not, typeset it in textmode! — Clément, Jun 26 '14 at 15:45
It is not clear what does not satisfy you, the font? the code needed to render the symbol? the size? What? — Bordaigorl, Jun 26 '14 at 15:49
If you use pdfLaTeX, load the package mathrsfs and type $\mathscr{E}$ if in text mode and \mathscr{E} if already in math mode. — Mico, Jun 26 '14 at 15:50
Ok, sorry for not being clear enough. What I want to do is write "ℰ" like the one in this picture: http://i.stack.imgur.com/TTesG.png and not like any of these: http://i.stack.imgur.com/n78w8.jpg — Ben, Jun 26 '14 at 16:06
you will need to find what font was used for that sample and obtain it. if it was in a pdf file, take a look at How do I find out what fonts are used in a document/picture?. — barbara beeton, Jun 26 '14 at 17:29
@Ben : you should edit your first post, and why not provide a MWE (cf. I've just been asked to write a minimal example, what is that?) — Clément, Jun 26 '14 at 17:31
@Clément New users can't add images and a symbol is not really a MWE type of thing. — percusse, Jun 27 '14 at 04:55

Here are 3 more script fonts for which there exists a LaTeX package (in math mode): Dutchcal(from the esstix 13 font), Boondox (from the stix fonts) (two variants) and Adobe's Bickham. All exist in regular and boldface. The following code allows to test them, commenting and uncommenting the relevant lines:

        \documentclass[12pt]{article}
        \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

        \usepackage{dutchcal}
        %\usepackage{boondox-cal}
        %\usepackage{boondox-calo}
        %\usepackage{bickham}

        \pagestyle{empty}

        \begin{document}%
        \textbf{Dutchcal: }
        %\textbf{boondox-cal}
        %\textbf{boondox-calo}
        %\textbf{bickham}
        $ \begin{array}[t]{c@{\quad}c}
            \verb+ \mathcal + & \verb+ \mathbcal + \\[6pt]
            \mathcal{E} & \mathbcal{E}
            \end{array} $

        \end{document}

Thank you very much! This is my first time posting here, so sorry if I caused some trouble. — Ben, Jun 26 '14 at 21:07

I wouldn't bother, so long as the symbol is a script E. However, here's a way to get the symbol you like; in the second line I show the character resulting with \mathscr (package mathrsfs).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}

\DeclareFontFamily{U}{calligra}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{calligra}{m}{n}{<->callig15}{}

\newcommand{\calE}{{\!\!\text{\usefont{U}{calligra}{m}{n}E}\,\,}}

\begin{document}
Here is a $\calE$ (script E)

Here is a $\mathscr{E}$ (script E)
\end{document}

And here two versions with free fonts with use of the fontspec and unicode-math package.

These are mathematical symbols, so you will have to suround them by $ $ or alike. But with fontspec you may load any font you like as main font and use it for your text as well.

% arara: lualatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\setmathfont{xits-math}
$\mscrE\mbfscrE$ (XITS Math)\\
\setmathfont{asana-math}
$\mscrE\mbfscrE$ (Asana Math)
\end{document}
