Unicode has no true “rotated” letters, but many characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet and other blocks look like upside-down Latin letters. Reversing the order completes the effect. A few capitals and symbols have no good match and are left as lowercase look-alikes. Everything is calculated in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to our server.
