Upside-down and mirror text
Screen readers announce these by their true Unicode names. Avoid in headings and names.
Flip text upside down, mirror it, or convert it to other Unicode letterforms.
How it works
Turns text upside down, mirrors it, or converts it to small caps, bold, italic and other Unicode variants.
None of this is a font. It works by substituting characters that happen to resemble rotated or mirrored versions of Latin letters, most of them borrowed from the International Phonetic Alphabet, Cyrillic and mathematical alphanumeric symbols. That is why it survives copy and paste anywhere — the characters are real, not styled.
It is also why it should be used sparingly. Screen readers announce these characters by their actual Unicode names, so a heading in "bold" mathematical letters is read out as a stream of nonsense. It breaks search, sorting and translation for the same reason.
A few letters have no plausible rotated counterpart, so the mapping is approximate in places.

Common questions
- How does upside-down text work?
- It substitutes real Unicode characters that resemble rotated letters, mostly from the IPA and Cyrillic. There is no font involved, which is why it survives copy and paste.
- Is it accessible?
- No. Screen readers announce these by their true Unicode names, so styled text is read as nonsense. It also breaks search and sorting. Use it in body text, never in headings or names.
