Upside Down F
ɟ is the closest Unicode shape to an f seen upside down.
An f has a hooked top and a crossbar. Rotated through 180 degrees the hook drops to the bottom left and the bar stays near the middle. The character that matches this best is ɟ, formally Latin Small Letter Dotless J With Stroke (U+025F). It is not a true turned f, because Unicode has a turned capital F, Ⅎ (U+2132, Turned Capital F), and a turned small f that fonts rarely include, so flip tables borrow the IPA letter for lowercase.

Where you will see ɟ
In the IPA, ɟ stands for a voiced palatal stop, the sound some speakers of Hungarian make in gy. Online it is a favourite for flipped brand and band names. Fonts that cover the IPA usually include it, though the crossbar can look heavier than a real f.

Good to know
Is there a true turned small f?
Yes: ⅎ (U+214E, Turned Small F). Few fonts include it, so ɟ is the safer choice for text that other people have to read.
