Cyrillic Millions Sign
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
The "Cyrillic Millions Sign, Unicode Character U+0489, (or ? to Firefox) is a character that contrary to what many newfags believe, is not responsible for rendering characters in the opposite direction.
The reversing character is a long clusterfuck in Unicode. Just like "%20" is a blank space in HTTP encoding, this character is %E2%80%AB%E2%80%AC%E2%80%AD%E2%80%AE%E2%80%AA%E2%80%AB%E2%80%AC%E2%80%AD%E2%80%AE therefore you can easily obtain it by inserting that long fuck into a search query from your address bar, then copy the invisible character from the search field (Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C)
Anything typed after inserting the ۞ .siht ekil gnihtemos skool taht epyt fo enil a ni tluser lliw retcarahc
NB. If you are viewing this Safari made page with Firefox, you should be seeing the following: 
(instead of: "Anything typed after inserting the character will result in a line of type that looks something like this.
" which is not what Safari users are seeing when viewing this Safari made page.).

[edit] Uses
There really are no applicable uses for the symbol besides being hilarious.
When put in the topic line of many forums, it reverses the text in the window frame, for example "Mozilla Firefox" would appear backwards. Though, that isn't very useful either.
Comes in useful for distracting yourself from your otherwise empty life by consuming an entire day attempting to make an article about it on a wiki work. And giving yourself a massive headache in the process.
Will make spellcheck and EDiots shit bricks.
The RTL OVERRIDE character (at codepoint 8238) has the same effect.
