Reversed Prime Symbol Meaning
The reversed prime (‵) is a Unicode punctuation character (U+2035) intended to represent a prime-like mark in a reversed or mirrored form. In practice, people use it as a stylistic or typographic alternative to standard prime symbols when consistency with surrounding formatting is important. Depending on your font and the context, it may appear similar to a turned quote or accent mark, so it’s best used intentionally (e.g., in technical styling, scripted typography, or text layouts where a mirrored mark is desired). When coding, prefer the official Unicode value (U+2035) to avoid relying on font-specific substitutes.
Common uses

- •UI strings: include the symbol in labels where a distinct mirrored mark is needed
- •Editorial layouts: match a mirrored punctuation style across a design system
