1) What is the difference in pronouncing /^/ and

1) What is the difference in pronouncing /^/ and ( the symbols which represent the opposite side of /e/ , sorry, but I don't know how to type it, and can you suggest any other phrase which is synonym of the opposite side above?)

2)I've heard the phrase: Long-haul flight, yet I think long is enough here or we can replace it by lengthy flight, is it acceptable? Is there a change in meaning?

3)"If you have difficulties in reading the article, equip yourself with (or not?) a dictionary"

‘^’ above a letter is a circumflex representing falling tone in IPA usage. Schwa (the symbol is like you turn the ‘e’ up-side down and then turn it again on its side or simply turn an ‘e’ 180 degrees) is a reduced vowel sound. A reversed ‘e’ left-to-right (i.e., mirror image) is not generally used in AmE.
