Urk! And there's rotated "s" as well.
Alright, I take it back. There is no limit to the barminess of script
inventors.
Obviously what we need are combining marks whose visual effect
is reversing/rotating the previous glyph. No, I didn't say that, I
really didn't say that...
You did! You’re guilty!
15 rotation characters have already been proposed for signwriting:

Look at page 4. If those characters could be applied to Latin letters,
we’d have:
ʁ = ʀ + SWR13
ᴙ = ʀ + SWR9
ᴚ = ʀ + SWR5
ᴝ = u + SWR3
ᴟ = m + SWR7
That would be very practical. However, we’d still miss combining marks
for superscripts, subscripts, smallcaps or combining letters.
