Ǝ ǝ (turned E or reversed E) is an additional letter of the Latin alphabet used in African languages using the Pan-Nigerian alphabet. The minuscule is based on a rotated e and the capital form majuscule Ǝ, based on a reversed (mirrored) majuscule E.

It is not to be confused with U+2203 ∃ THERE EXISTS, the existential quantifier used in logic, or with U+0259 ə LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA (uppercase Ə), which is used as a phonetic symbol for the mid central vowel and as a letter in Latin-based orthographies, such as Azerbaijani and the General Alphabet of Cameroon Languages.^[1]

In MacOS with the U.S. Extended keyboard, the letters Ǝ ǝ are made with ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+: followed by E e respectively.

The letter has been used by American rapper Eminem in order to stylize his stage name.
