From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 [gcide]:
OE \[OE]\ ([=e]), a diphthong, employed in the Latin language, and thence in the English language, as the representative of the Greek diphthong oi. In many words in common use, e alone stands instead of [oe]. Classicists prefer to write the diphthong oe separate in Latin words.
