Open O is typographically a turned C as that's how they were able to save money on wooden or cast-metal typefaces for the early IPA. All they needed for a large amount of new letters was to turn existing ones upside down.
Reversed C is literally a horizontally mirrored C as the glyph was conceived when typefaces were still handwritten;
It's basically the Latin equivalent of the Greek Lunate Sigma/Antisigma.
I know what Open O should look like, I was just confused by the preexisting naming in the code and messed the glyph up when trying to fix it.
U+1D12 LATIN SMALL LETTER SIDEWAYS OPEN O should look like U+0254 LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O rotated 90° counterclockwise. The serif is on the wrong side.
