Vinh,
Script E
The symbols available are given in the palette menu> File > Palettes > 9
CompleteCharacters.
Script E is in Letters>Script
You can copy it into your notebook by clicking on it;
also, when the curser over it you will see two ways of typing it in given in
the bottom bar of the patette window: esc scE esc, and \[ScriptCapitalE].
Making Subscript[x,y] into a symbol
I'll do a little more.
<< Utilities`Notation`
A panel will appear.
Use this to construct
Symbolize[< 2D form of Subscript[x,_]>]
For information about this technique look up in the Help Browser, Add-ons
