How to type upside down letters & backwards text ?

Posted in Arbitrary Thoughts, Tools, Usability, UserExperience, UxD by Peter Andreas Molgaard on November 20, 2009

How does this tool flip text up side down and backward?

The JavaScript program converts English letters to unicode characters and symbols that look inverted, to make it look like you’ve created upside-down text on the computer. Most of them come from the character sets “Latin Extended” and “International Phonetic Alphabet”. Unfortunately there are no upside down numbers and not enough upside down capital letters, so this tool supports lowercase letters only. This page uses the font “Arial Unicode MS” to display the flipped text. You can learn the letter mapping behind this upside down text generator by viewing this page’s html source code. Enjoy this trick on internet forum, blog, IM, & chat!

    You should also link to Upside Down Text. It works the same way as u described above, but it’s much better than the sevenwires version in my opinion.
