How Upside Down Text Works

Upside down text uses Unicode characters that resemble upside-down versions of standard letters. Unlike simply rotating text in an image, these special characters can be copied and pasted anywhere that supports Unicode text.

  • Unicode Magic - The flipped effect uses characters from the Latin Extended-D and other Unicode blocks
  • Not True Rotation - Each character is replaced with a different Unicode character that looks like its flipped version
  • Platform Compatibility - Works on most modern platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS
  • Font Dependent - Appearance may vary slightly depending on the font used by the platform
  • Searchability - Upside down text is still searchable as text, not as images

Our tool handles all the complex character mapping so you can focus on creating interesting text effects.
