Ǝ ǝ or turned E is an additional letter of the Latin alphabet used in African languages using the Pan-Nigerian alphabet or the African reference alphabet. The minuscule is based on a rotated e and the capital form majuscule Ǝ, based on a rotated 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 and as a letter in languages of the Caucasus (such as Azerbaijani). In MacOS with the U.S. Extended keyboard, the letters Ǝ ǝ are made with ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+: followed by E e respectively.
The additional letter was popularized when it was used in the name of American rapper Eminem, which is styled as EMINƎM since The Marshall Mathers LP was released in 2000.[relevant?]
