Upside Down Text
The transformation of text or FlipText ( English flip text ) is one of the types of Leetspeak and is in the network jargon used. It is a kind of secret language that is used in chats and forums so that it cannot be recognized by word filters. The text is rotated 180 ° by first writing it backwards and then replacing each character with a character that comes as close as possible to a 180 ° rotation. For example, “Wikipedia” becomes “ɐıpǝdıʞıʍ”.
There are only a few characters in the usual ASCII character set that are rotated by 180 ° (b / q, d / p, n / u and 6/9), very few are even rotationally symmetrical and do not have to be changed (z, s, x , o, 0 and 8). For the remaining characters, you can either use Unicode special characters, especially those of the International Phonetic Alphabet , (e.g. w → ʍ) or only roughly similar characters (e.g. USD encoding, w → m).
Examples
