Flip Text Upside Down with Unicode

Flipping Text Upside Down

Flipping text upside down uses special Unicode characters that visually resemble rotated versions of standard Latin letters. The text is also reversed so it reads correctly when viewed upside down.

How It Works

Each character is mapped to its upside-down Unicode equivalent:

a → ɐ    b → q    c → ɔ    d → p    e → ǝ
f → ɟ    g → ƃ    h → ɥ    i → ı    j → ɾ
k → ʞ    l → l    m → ɯ    n → u    o → o
p → d    q → b    r → ɹ    s → s    t → ʇ
u → n    v → ʌ    w → ʍ    x → x    y → ʎ    z → z

After mapping, the entire string is reversed:

"Hello World" → "plɹoM ollǝH" (mapped) → "Hǝllo Moɹlp" (mapped + reversed)

Wait — let us trace it correctly:

H → H    e → ǝ    l → l    l → l    o → o
  →      W → M    o → o    r → ɹ    l → l    d → p    ! → ¡

Mapped:  "Hǝllo Moɹlp¡"
Reversed: "¡dlɹoM ollǝH"

Supported Characters

The upside-down mapping works best with:

• Lowercase Latin letters (a-z): Most have good Unicode equivalents
• Uppercase Latin letters (A-Z): Many have reasonable substitutes
• Digits (0-9): Some have look-alikes (6↔9, etc.)
• Common punctuation (! → ¡, ? → ¿, etc.)

Limitations

• Not all characters have upside-down equivalents
• Some mappings are approximate (e.g., M → W is not perfect)
• Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and other non-Latin scripts generally cannot be flipped
• The result may not render consistently across all fonts and platforms
