About Upside Down Text
This does not rotate anything. It substitutes Unicode characters that happen to look like inverted letters — mostly from the IPA phonetic extensions and Latin Extended blocks, where ɐ, ǝ and ɹ exist for linguistic reasons — then reverses the order so the sentence reads correctly when the text itself is flipped. The result is plain text and survives copy-paste anywhere.
How to use it
- Paste the text you want to run through upside down text.
- There is nothing to configure — the result updates as you type.

Questions
Will it display everywhere?
Almost, but not quite. The substituted characters are real Unicode with wide font support, though a few render as boxes in older systems and some platforms strip unusual characters from display names.
Is it accessible?
No. A screen reader announces the actual characters, which are phonetic symbols, so the result is unintelligible when read aloud. Fine for a novelty, unsuitable for anything conveying information.
