(é) ill.

French term or phrase: (é) ill.
Translation from French into English: (é) ill.
This appears in the signature space on a French language acte de naissance for a birth in 1978 from a country in central Africa, as follows:

Les Déclarants ------- L'Officier d'Etat-Civil
------------------------- (é) ill.

the next line is: Pour Copie Certifiée Conforme, followed by the city and date
The next line is: "L'Officier d'Etat Civil", with a signature beneath.

I have never seen the abbreviations "(é) ill." and cannot find them anywhere. It appears the signature is for the certified copy. Could the "ill" mean the original signature is illisible [illegible]? What would the (é) stand for? Thanks for any insights.

I think you are absolutely correct about ill = illisible and that (é) in fact stands for signé. See the following:
