How you can flip text with no image

There is no “rotate” setting in Unicode. Instead, each letter is swapped for a different character that happens to look like it rotated: ɐ (a turned a from the phonetic alphabet), ǝ (turned e), ɥ (turned h), and so on. Then the order is reversed so it reads correctly when the screen is turned over.

A few capitals have no good lookalike, so they come from Lisu and other scripts that share the shape.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between upside down and mirror text?

Upside down text is rotated 180°, so it reads correctly if you turn the screen over. Mirror text is flipped left to right, like a reflection, and reads correctly in a mirror.

Does upside down text work on every app?

Most letters come from the widely supported IPA phonetic set, so it works almost everywhere. A few capitals may show as boxes on older devices.

Can I flip it back?

Yes. Paste the flipped text into the box and it flips back, since every mapping here is reversible for lowercase letters.
