The "ea" spelling is a way to write the long /e/ sound in English. It's often in the middle or end of words like "meat," "bean," and "tea."
Sometimes, it's at the beginning, like in "ear" or "east."
A grapheme is a letter or group of letters that stands for a sound in a word. The "ea" in this case represents the sound /ee/.
