Reverse text generator

• Reverse letters works line by line, so a multi-line text keeps its lines in place while each line is mirrored. Emoji and accented letters are kept intact instead of being split into broken pieces.
• Reverse word order keeps the spaces between words as they were.
• Reverse line order turns a list upside down: the last item comes first. It's the quickest way to flip a chronological list or a log.
• Upside down replaces each character with a look-alike that appears rotated 180°, and reverses the order so it reads correctly when you turn your phone around.

There's no "upside-down font" in Unicode. Instead, the tool swaps each letter for a different character that happens to look like it rotated: a becomes ɐ, e becomes ǝ, h becomes ɥ, t becomes ʇ, ? becomes ¿ and ! becomes ¡. Some letters are symmetrical and stay the same (o, s, x, z), and some pairs swap (b ↔ q, d ↔ p, n ↔ u).

Accents are dropped in upside-down mode because there are no rotated versions of accented letters; café comes out as the flipped version of cafe. Capital letters use the closest look-alikes available, and a few look a little rough in some fonts.

A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards. Use Reverse letters to test one:

• racecar → racecar
• Was it a car or a cat I saw? → ?was I tac a ro rac a ti saW

The second one is a palindrome if you ignore spaces, punctuation and capitals. To check it strictly, first remove spaces and punctuation with remove extra spaces, make everything lowercase with the case converter, then reverse.

Other uses: mirror writing for puzzles and escape rooms, flipping a list of names into reverse order, or an upside-down caption that makes people tilt their head.

People often ask for mirror text, meaning writing that looks correct when held up to a mirror. True mirror writing flips each letter shape horizontally, which Unicode can't do for most letters. Reversing the letter order is the closest plain-text equivalent and is what puzzle makers usually mean.

If you need real mirrored lettering for a design, such as a sign on a glass door or an iron-on transfer, create the text in an image editor and flip the image horizontally instead.

• Use Use result as input to chain modes: reverse the words, then reverse the letters, and you get each word mirrored in its original position.
• Upside-down text is made of ordinary characters, so it works in bios, comments, usernames and chats.
• Screen readers will read upside-down text as a jumble of symbols, so avoid it for anything important.
• The conversion happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
