U+A7FD Latin Epigraphic Letter Inverted M
U+A7FD was added in Unicode version 5.1 in 2008. It belongs to the block Latin Extended-D in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Letter and is mainly used in the Latin script. The character is also known as mulier and matrona (married woman).
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+A7FD forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
In the days of printing with metal type sorts, it was common to rotate letters and digits 180° to create new symbols. This was done for example with the Palaeotype alphabet, the International Phonetic Alphabet, the Fraser script, and for some mathematical symbols. Perhaps the earliest instance of this that is still in use was turned e for schwa.
In the eighteenth-century Caslon metal fonts, the British pound sign (£) was set with a rotated italic uppercase J.
