These are Unicode symbols, not fonts. Some apps and older phones show them as boxes, and screen readers may read them letter by letter or skip them, so keep names, important details and hashtags in plain text. Why, and what to do instead.
How upside down text works
Unicode has no "flip" setting, so upside down text is made from look-alikes. Many turned letters exist because phoneticians needed them: ɐ (turned a), ǝ (turned e), ɥ (turned h) and ɯ (turned m) are all in the IPA Extensions block. Others are plain letters that happen to look flipped (b and q, d and p, n and u). Capital letters borrow from the Lisu script and other blocks (ꓭ ꓷ ꓕ). The tool then reverses the order, so the text reads correctly when the screen is turned over.
Mirror text
Mirror text reverses the order and swaps each letter for a horizontally flipped look-alike, such as b ↔ d, p ↔ q, Я for R and И for N. It's handy for writing that reads correctly in a mirror. Letters with no mirrored form stay the same.
Where it breaks
Most flipped letters are in common fonts, but a few capitals (from the Lisu block) are missing on older devices. Screen readers read the look-alike characters by their real names, so the text turns into nonsense when read aloud. Keep it for fun. More in the accessibility guide.
Frequently asked questions
