There is no real upside-down font: each letter is swapped for a look-alike character that resembles it rotated, and the order is reversed. A few letters have no perfect match and use the closest shape, and accents on letters like ö or ç move to the other side.
Frequently asked questions
Each letter is replaced by a Unicode character that looks like it has been rotated 180°, such as ɐ for a, ǝ for e and ɥ for h, and the whole text is reversed. Put together, it reads correctly when the screen is turned around.
Upside down rotates the text 180°. Mirror flips it left to right, like writing on a window seen from outside. Backwards keeps every letter normal and only reverses the order, which makes it a simple puzzle for friends.
Unicode has no rotated version of every letter, so a few use the closest look-alike. Symmetrical letters such as o, s, x and z look the same either way, so they don't change.
Yes, the characters are regular Unicode, so they paste into chats, comments, bios and captions. A very old device may show a box for a rare character; send it to yourself first if you're unsure.
No. Screen readers read the look-alike characters one by one and in reverse order, which makes no sense to listeners. Keep it for jokes and short reactions, not for anything important.
