How does it work?

Letters are converted to unicode characters and symbols that look like text flipped upside down on the computer. Most of them come from the character sets "Latin Extended" and "International Phonetic Alphabet". Unfortunately there's no upside down numbers nor enough flipped capital letters, so lowerecase letters are the only options. Note: The 'rotated' text requires UTF-8 to be visible.
