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 {{unichar|2203|THERE EXISTS}}, the existential quantifier used in logic, or with {{unichar|0259|LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA|nlink=Ə}} (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.{{Cite book |last=Wells |first=J.

In MacOS with the U.S. Extended keyboard, the letters Ǝ ǝ are made with {{kp|opt|shift|colon}} followed by E e respectively.

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