How to type Backwards 3 (or the Ɛ symbol)?
Method 1: The traditional way
You need to copy this “Ɛ” and then paste it anywhere that you want to type Backwards 3 as the Ɛ symbol. Sometimes, you will see that people often ask to type backward E and make the shape like the Ɛ symbol but it isn’t the E alphabet. It is the 3 digits from counting that end up becoming “Ɛ” after turning it into a backward shape.
People often use “Ɛ” with “>” for making the heart shape as “Ɛ>” and it sometimes turns into a heart emoji on social media platforms like Facebook and other apps.
Method 2: On PC
On a text software on your PC like MS Word, MS Excel, Powerpoint, or a third-party app as it won’t work on MS Notepad. Here are the steps to do that –
- Open a new Blank Document
- Use the keyboard to type 0190 (3 as Ɛ Alt Code)
- Press Alt + X using the keyboard
- This will convert 3 into Ɛ
Method 3: On Android
All you need to do is copy “Ɛ” from here and then paste it on any Android app or text that you like. The best way of using Ɛ on your Android phone would be in Facebook comments to form a heart shape.
Method 4: On iPhone
On iOS devices, Ɛ cannot be typed with the default keyboard, and like Android phones, you can use the iPhone’s copy/pasting feature for converting 3 into “Ɛ” on iPhone. You just have to copy “Ɛ” from here and then paste it anywhere on your iPhone from text messages to comments on social media.
