Point is it’s apparently not recognized as a standard Unicode character. I don’t read E and 3 the same way, I’m not dyslexic.
So I saw an unusual character I have never seen before, and wondered what the character’s origins were. What I discovered is that it’s apparently a dyslexic mirror handwritten ampersand of a long lost character typeface or handwriting style.
Initially I thought it was just a custom fancy handwritten 3.
So sue me for never seeing dyslexic mirror graffiti out in the wild before.

The standard ampersand is U+0026, and there is also a small ampersand, a full-width ampersand, a turned 180-degree ampersand, and 6 stylized versions that were carryovers from wingdings. It is also significantly older than Unicode, and is a standard key on qwerty keyboards (shift-7)
Tf you want them to do? Link to an interpretive dance on the subject? It’s Wikipedia. They explain shit.
