SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the use of LaTeX to display the Greek letter epsilon in its backwards 3 form, specifically the command \varepsilon. Users noted that the standard command \epsilon outputs the set membership symbol instead. To achieve the desired output, one must utilize the \varepsilon command in their LaTeX document to correctly render the backwards 3 version of epsilon.

LaTeX fonts for "epsilon"

There are two "epsilons", one that looks like the set membership, and the other that looks like a backwards 3. I want the second one, but my latex software only outputs the first one. How do I change that?

There is \epsilon and \varepsilon if you want the greek characters. (Set membership being \in)
