tom,

thank you !

actually, i wanted that letter in order to create a unique signature for my future forum posts - in line with my forum name. so, not expecting there to be any copyright infringements, i already took the liberty to commandeer the letter from your reply 😉

behold my new signature. needs a little fine tuning but i'll get there

best regards

i meant "mirrored" R like here

What application are you using? Whatever it is, you will need see whether it provides a mirror function that you can apply to text. You may need to use a graphic instead of text.

Or you could use the Russian letter Я (Unicode 042F)

Hello again:

This article might help you:

There seems to be every conceivable combination, but I did not research your particular character.

Hello Read:

Type ¿ by holding down the option-shift-/ (forward slash) keys at the same time and pressing enter.

If you really want to type an "R" upside down, look at system preferences>language & text>input sources. If that character appears in one of those, select that KB layout.

Depending on the program, you'd probably want to look under Edit > Special Characters, and find the character you want.
