Eĉ goes immediately in front of the word it is surprising about, and moving it moves the meaning: eĉ mi vidis lin is not the same claim as mi vidis eĉ lin. In front of pli it strengthens a comparison, giving "even more". The slug is ecx because the x-system is how the circumflex is typed on a keyboard that has none.
