How upside-down text works

Unicode has no rotate command. The generator replaces each character with another character that looks like it turned 180 degrees, then reverses the order of the characters in each line so the line reads correctly when flipped. Lowercase letters come mostly from IPA Extensions (ɐ ɔ ɟ ɥ) and capitals include Letterlike Symbols such as ⅁ Ⅎ ⅄.

Digits and punctuation flip too. Digit lookalikes come from several scripts, including Hangul and Bopomofo (ᄅ ㄣ ㄥ), and punctuation such as ! ? ( ) [ ] { } < > swaps to its partner. Each flipped letter is a different character that resembles the rotated one. Mirrored works left to right in the same way. Letters with no mirror entry, such as H, I, O and X, stay as typed.

Where it can fail

Upside Down has a medium box rating. A few capitals, Ԁ and Ό, come from Cyrillic and Greek, and some fonts lack them. Mirrored has a high rating, because it uses rare Latin Extended and Cyrillic lookalikes that many default fonts lack. Expect empty rectangles in some places. The ratings come from macOS font checks and block coverage, with no device tests.

Reversal makes editing feel odd after you paste, because the first letter you typed ends up on the right. Each line is reversed on its own, so line order stays the same. Search will not match the flipped letters to the plain words. Screen readers may read the lookalikes as unrelated letters. Write anything important in plain text as well, since X handles accept only A-Z, 0-9 and underscore.

Questions

How do I write upside down text?

Type your text and tap Upside Down. The generator flips each character and reverses each line. Paste it where the field accepts plain text.

Why does the flipped text look reversed in the box?

The line is reversed on purpose so it reads left to right after the text is turned upside down.

What is the difference between Upside Down and Mirrored?

Upside Down turns letters 180 degrees. Mirrored flips them left to right. Mirrored has a high box rating and Upside Down a medium one.

Does it flip numbers and punctuation?

Digits and common punctuation get lookalike replacements in Upside Down. Mirrored leaves digits plain.

Why do some letters appear as boxes?

Several lookalikes come from rare blocks that default fonts may lack, most of all in Mirrored.
