SMD code 81E — 68.1 kΩ
A surface-mount resistor has no bands. This one is an EIA-96 marking: code 81 is 6.81 in the E96 series, E multiplies by 10000. Parts marked this way are usually ±1%.

Codes you will mistake it for
One character apart from 81E. On a 0402 part these are a fraction of a millimetre of printing — worth a second look before you solder.
