U+025C Latin Small Letter Reversed Open E

U+025C was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0250 to U+02AF IPA Extensions in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Lowercase Letter and is mainly used in the Latin script. Its uppercase variant is Glyph for U+A7AB Latin Capital Letter Reversed Open E and its titlecase variant is Glyph for U+A7AB Latin Capital Letter Reversed Open E. The character is also known as reversed epsilon.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+025C forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it. The glyph can be confused with 3 other glyphs.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The open-mid central unrounded vowel, or low-mid central unrounded vowel, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɜ (formerly ). The IPA symbol is not the digit ⟨3⟩ or the Cyrillic small letter Ze (з). The symbol is instead a reversed Latinized variant of the lowercase epsilon, ɛ. The value was specified only in 1993; until then, it had been transcribed ɛ̈.

The ɜ letter may be used with a raising diacritic ɜ̝, to denote the mid central unrounded vowel. It may also be used with a lowering diacritic ɜ̞, to denote the near-open central unrounded vowel.

Conversely, ə, the symbol for the mid central vowel may be used with a lowering diacritic ə̞ to denote the open-mid central unrounded vowel, although that is more specifically written with an additional unrounding diacritic ə̞͑ to explicitly denote the lack of rounding (the canonical value of IPA ə is undefined for rounding).
