Alternative forms
The letter was adopted into the IPA in 1921 as $⟨⟩$, alongside unrounded $⟨⟩$, then abandoned. It was brought back in 1993. However, due to a confusion of sources, this form was thought to be an error, and it was replaced with the current form $⟨⟩$ (closed $⟨⟩$ rather than the intended closed $⟨⟩$) in 1996. The original turned epsilon $⟨⟩$ had been replaced with a reversed epsilon $⟨⟩$ sometime between 1957 and 1989.
