Flip Text / Mirror Text
Flip text upside down or mirror it for fun and emphasis.

Which letters flip upside down cleanly?
The tool reverses your text, then swaps each character for one that looks rotated 180 degrees. Lowercase letters have the most convincing partners: a becomes ɐ and p becomes d, so Happy Diwali comes out as ᴉlɐʍᴉp ʎddɐH. Digits and common punctuation are covered too, so 6 and 9 trade places, a question mark becomes ¿ and opening and closing brackets swap.
Capitals flip less cleanly. R becomes a small raised ᴿ, Q stays as it is, D turns into a lowercase p, and B becomes a letter from the Deseret alphabet that some fonts lack, so it may show as an empty box. Characters without an entry in the table, such as accented letters, Hindi, the @ sign and emoji, keep their shape and only move position.
Is mirror text the same as reversed text?
The Mirror output on this page is reversed text. It writes your characters in reverse order and each letter keeps its normal shape, so OneClickUse rocks becomes skcor esUkcilCenO. The Reverse Text tool and the Reverse style in the Fancy Text Generator give the same result.
Both outputs reverse the whole input, line breaks included, so the last line of a message becomes the first. Emoji made of several code points can come apart. A thumbs-up with a skin tone splits into the default yellow hand and a separate skin-tone swatch, and the India flag emoji turns into the flag of Nicaragua, because a flag is stored as the letter symbols I and N, which swap places.
Can you flip upside-down text back to normal?
Running flipped text through the tool again does not restore it. The table maps ordinary characters to flipped ones, and most flipped characters have no entry going back, so hello becomes ollǝɥ and a second pass gives ɥǝllo. Pairs that are each other's flip, such as b and q, d and p, or n and u, do convert both ways. Keep a copy of your original text if you will need it.
How the result looks depends on the fonts on the reader's device. The flipped characters are borrowed from several Unicode blocks, including phonetic symbols, Hebrew for G, Hangul for 2 and Bopomofo for 4 and 7, so an older phone may show some of them as boxes. Flipped usernames and hashtags will not point to the original account or tag, so leave them out of the text you flip, and preview the result in the app where you plan to post it.
