"Æ" is known as a "grapheme." According to Webster's dictionary, "æ" means "one," from Middle English roots. According to Wiki, the Latin "æ" is used like the long "i". When using the Latin-1 or Unicode character sets, the code points for Æ and æ are U+00C6 and U+00E6, respectively, or 198 and 230 in decimal.

So Sony must be using it because...

um...

uh.

...I got nothin'.
