The reversed sigma glyph seems to be, in both these cases, a variant of
the usual glyph (apparenlty identical for both U+01B7 and U+04E0).

Perhaps to make it different from U+0033...? (But U+0417 is much worse
at that...) Anyway, it sure looks very good -- I suppose the lower case
version is though identical to the usual glyph's, fitted with a curve
tail, it it?
