Why does the text also need to be reversed?

Because rotating a page moves the last character to the left-hand side. Flipping the letters without reversing the order gives something that looks scrambled rather than upside down, which is why the two operations always go together.

Where do the flipped letters actually come from?

From a dozen unrelated writing systems. The turned vowels are phonetic symbols, the flipped B is from the Deseret alphabet, one digit is Hangul and two more are Bopomofo. They were picked for their shapes alone, so the text is a genuine mixture of scripts once it leaves this page.

Why are some characters unchanged?

Nothing suitable exists for them. Accented letters, most punctuation and every non-Latin script have no rotated counterpart in Unicode, so they are passed through untouched rather than replaced with something that would change the meaning.

Will it display correctly everywhere?

Mostly, though it is less uniform than the mathematical alphabets, precisely because the characters are gathered from so many blocks. A device without a font covering Deseret or Bopomofo will show empty boxes for those few positions while the rest of the sentence flips fine.

About the Upside Down Text Generator

Flipping a sentence takes two operations, and skipping either one gives a result that looks wrong without it being obvious why. Each letter has to be replaced with something shaped like its rotated form, and then the whole string has to be reversed — because turning a page over does not only invert the letters, it puts the last one on the left.

The substitution table is the interesting part, and it is a scavenger hunt rather than a designed alphabet. Unicode has no upside-down Latin letters, so the characters used here are borrowed from wherever a suitable shape happened to be encoded. Turned letters from phonetics supply most of the lowercase. The flipped capital B is Deseret, an alphabet devised in nineteenth-century Utah. The G is Hebrew, the digit two is Hangul, and four and seven are Bopomofo, the Chinese phonetic script. None of them means anything remotely related to the letter it stands in for; they were chosen purely because they look right when rotated.

Three variants are given. The full flip does both operations and is what almost everyone wants. The second flips the letters without reversing the order, which is only useful in the rare places that reverse text for you and would otherwise undo the effect twice over. The third simply reverses the order without touching the letters, which is a different party trick altogether.

Predictably, a screen reader announces this as a string of unrelated symbols from four writing systems, which is exactly what it is.

How to use it

1Type your message in the box.
2Take the first row for the ordinary effect: letters flipped and reading order reversed.
3Copy it with the button on that row.
4Paste it into a chat, a caption or a display name.
5Check for stray characters — punctuation and accented letters have no flipped form and pass through as they are.
