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)

I would recommend checking the documentation or user manual for your specific LaTeX software to see if there is a way to change the output font for the "epsilon" symbol. If there is no option to change the font, you may need to use a different LaTeX software or manually insert the desired "epsilon" symbol using the appropriate Unicode character code. Additionally, you can also try searching for alternative LaTeX packages or fonts that may include the backwards 3 version of "epsilon".
