Upside Down Text Generator

Upside-down text uses letters that look like the normal alphabet rotated 180°: ɐ for a, ǝ for e, ʇ for t, ∀ for A. Written in reverse order, the result reads correctly when someone turns their phone around. It is plain Unicode, so it pastes into chats, comments, bios and usernames that allow special characters. This tool can also flip without reversing, reverse without flipping, and decode upside-down text back to normal.

How to use this tool

1. Type or paste your text.
2. Keep “Upside down” for the classic effect, or choose flip only or reverse only.
3. Copy the result and paste it anywhere.
4. To read upside-down text someone sent you, paste it and choose “Turn upside-down text back”.

Formula

Upside down = reverse the character order (and the line order) after replacing each character with its rotated look-alike

Most rotated letters are borrowed from the International Phonetic Alphabet (ɐ U+0250, ɥ U+0265, ɹ U+0279, ʇ U+0287) and from symbol blocks (∀ U+2200, ⊥ U+22A5, ⅁ U+2141). Letters that look the same rotated, such as o, s, x, z, H, I, N, O, S, X and Z, stay as they are; b/q, d/p, n/u, M/W and 6/9 swap. Reversal works on whole characters, so emoji with skin tones, flags and accented letters are never split.

Example

“Hello World” becomes plɹoM ollǝH, and “hello?” becomes ¿ollǝɥ. The question mark becomes an inverted ¿ and moves to the front, because the whole line is read from the other end.
