U+03F5 "ϵ" Greek Lunate Epsilon Symbol is a variant form of the Greek letter epsilon, distinguished by its rounded, crescent-like shape rather than the standard straight-backed epsilon (ε). Historically, this lunate form was commonly used in ancient Greek inscriptions and early manuscripts, and it later became significant in modern contexts as the symbol for the base of natural logarithms in mathematics, particularly within the Unicode standard to differentiate it from the similar-looking Greek small letter epsilon (U+03B5).
