Definition

What Is Uppercase E Reverse?

Uppercase E reverse (Ǝ) is the Unicode character at U+018E in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER REVERSED E — a horizontally flipped capital E used in linguistic notation and extended Latin typography.

Remember

CSS escape    \018E
Named entity  (none)

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase E Reverse (Ǝ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\018E";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x018E;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#398;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: Ǝ</p>
  <p>Example: Reversed E Ǝ</p>
  <p>Related: Ǝ / ɘ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+018E → Ǝ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ǝ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 398 → Ǝ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \018E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǝ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / related: paste Ǝ in UTF-8, and use ɘ (U+0258) for the small reversed e.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with reversed E.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+018E. Use Ǝ or Ǝ.

vs E

Not plain capital E

Keyboard E is U+0045. Use U+018E only when you need the reversed capital letter.

vs Ɛ

Not capital open E

Ɛ (U+0190) is open E. Ǝ is a mirror-image capital E — different shapes and code points.

vs CSS flip

Not a CSS transform

transform: scaleX(-1) only flips visuals. U+018E is a real character you can copy, search, and encode.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\018E belongs in CSS strings. Ǝ / Ǝ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Some UI fonts omit Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.
