U+03FD "Ͻ" Greek Capital Reversed Lunate Sigma Symbol is a rarely used typographic variant of the Greek letter sigma, originally employed in ancient Greek inscriptions as a cursive or decorative form of the lunate sigma (which resembles a Roman C). Unlike the standard capital sigma (Σ) or the final sigma (ς), this reversed version faces left, indicating a specific stylistic or regional preference in older Greek manuscript traditions. In modern coding and digital typography, it serves primarily for historical or scholarly representation of ancient texts, and it is part of the Greek and Coptic block in Unicode, with a code point value of 1021 in decimal.
