Upside Down Text
Flip letters upside down, strike them through, or do both, then copy the Unicode text.
The result updates as you type. Letters, digits, and common punctuation flip. Other characters stay as typed.
Result
Type or paste text to see it flip. The Hello example fills the box.
Upside down, Hello reads oꞁꞁǝH.
This upside down text generator swaps letters, digits, and common punctuation for Unicode lookalikes and reverses the line, so the words read normally when you turn the screen around. Hello comes out as oꞁꞁǝH. Characters with no flipped form stay as typed, including letters that already look the same upside down, and they still move with the reversed line. Strikethrough adds the combining long stroke overlay, U+0336, after each character. The both setting flips and reverses the line, then adds that stroke. Copy places the result on the clipboard so you can paste it into a message, a caption, or a document.
Flip the characters and reverse the line
Upside down mode reads each character, swaps it for a Unicode lookalike that resembles the character turned halfway around, and then reverses the line. Hello becomes oꞁꞁǝH. The map covers letters, digits, and common punctuation. A character with no lookalike, including a letter that already looks the same upside down, stays as you typed it and still moves to its new place in the reversed line. The result updates as you type.
Strikethrough mode keeps the original order and adds the combining long stroke overlay, U+0336, after each character, which draws a line through the words. Both mode flips and reverses the line first, then adds that stroke, so the line stays attached to the flipped characters. Copy places the result on the clipboard. Those characters paste into a message, a caption, or a document, and the upside-down line reads in the original order when the screen is turned around.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make text upside down?
Type in the box and choose Upside down. Each letter, digit, and common punctuation mark is swapped for a Unicode lookalike, and the line is reversed. The result updates as you type. Copy puts it on the clipboard.
What does Hello look like upside down?
Hello becomes oꞁꞁǝH. The capital H and the o stay, because they look the same upside down. The e becomes ǝ, turned e, and each l becomes ꞁ, turned l. The letters are written in reverse order so the word reads Hello when the screen is turned around.
How does the strikethrough work?
Strikethrough adds U+0336, the combining long stroke overlay, after each character. The mark draws a line through the character before it. Both mode flips and reverses the text first, then adds the stroke, so the line follows the upside-down characters.
Why does a character sometimes stay the same?
Some characters already look the same after a half turn, such as o, s, x, z, H, I, O, and 0, so they are left as typed. Emoji and other characters with no flipped form are left as typed too. They still change position when the line is reversed.
