Mirror greek symbol in math environment
I need a mirrored symbol Gamma. Is it posible? I can't find this symbol and I do not know a way to mirror the symbol. I use unicode math.

as egreg says, this symbol is not in unicode. is the symbol in common use, and can you provide a citation for a published source? if so, it can be submitted to unicode (i'm an official contact for this); see my profile for contact information.

You can use reflectbox from graphicx and also text from amsmath to get the symbol to scale in sub/superscripts
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath,graphicx}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont{Lucida Bright Math OT}
DeclareRobustCommand{ammaG}{text{reflectbox{$Gamma$}}}
begin{document}
$GammaneammaG$
$Gamma=Gamma$
$ammaG_{ammaG_ammaG}$
end{document}
It's better to use DeclareRobustCommand so there's no problem using the new symbol in moving arguments. Of course you can't copy-paste it as a reversed Gamma, but the symbol is not in Unicode anyway.
If one needs an “almost reflected” version of varGamma, some pain is needed for kerning subscripts:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath,graphicx}
usepackage{xparse}
NewDocumentCommand{antivarGamma}{e{_^}}{%
{mathpalettemakeantigammarelax}%
IfValueT{#1}{_{kernforantigamma{#1}}}%
IfValueT{#2}{^{#2}}%
}
makeatletter
newcommand{makeantigamma}[2]{%
reflectbox{raisebox{depth}{scalebox{1}[-1]{$m@th#1 L$}}}%
}
newcommand{kernforantigamma}[1]{mathpalettekern@for@antigamma{#1}}
newcommand{kern@for@antigamma}[2]{%
begingroup
sboxz@{$m@thpromote@style#1{kern0ptI}_{#2}$}%
sboxtw@{$m@thpromote@style#1I_{#2}$}%
kerndimexprwdtw@-wdz@ #2
endgroup
}
newcommand{promote@style}[1]{%
ifx#1scriptstyletextstyleelsescriptstylefi
}
makeatother
begin{document}
$
-I_{kl}antivarGamma_{m}=g_{km}antivarGamma{l}-g_{lm}antivarGamma_{k}
qquad
varGamma_{k}^{*}=antivarGamma{k}^{dagger}varLambda
$
end{document}
The antivarGamma symbol appears in a 1945 paper on the Dirac equation (Proceedings of the Royal Society). See Is there a TeX symbol that looks like this reverse uppercase gamma?
