I don't get it. Do you have an example that you can show this happening in?

Thanks!

I think the OP means that E and Ǝ would be equivalent.
This actually works fine with latin letters. Think of for example advertising or graffiti where this trick is used sometimes to gain attention.
Not all of them, depending on font (and case) - bdpq, sz.
It works fine with all of them. It's true that some letters are mirrored forms of other letters, but that doesn't leave any ambiguity - the form of the letter is oriented to the direction of reading, so "b" is a B when you're reading left-to-right and it's a D when you're reading right-to-left.
