How this actually works
Each letter is swapped for a different Unicode character that happens to look upside down — an "e" becomes "ǝ", for example — and the whole sequence is reversed so it reads correctly left to right once flipped. It's genuine text, not an image, which is why it copies, pastes, and works in bios and captions anywhere plain text is accepted.
Common questions
How does flipped text actually work?
Each letter is swapped for a different Unicode character that happens to look like it flipped upside down (an 'e' becomes 'ǝ', for instance), and the whole sequence is reversed so it reads left to right correctly once flipped. It's genuine text, not an image, so it copies and pastes normally.
Why do some letters look a bit different from a true flip?
Unicode doesn't have a perfect upside-down twin for every character, so a few letters (like 'l' or 'x') use their closest visual match rather than a mathematically exact rotation.
Will it work everywhere I paste it?
Almost everywhere, since it's plain Unicode text rather than an image or special font file. Very rarely, an app's font may not include one of the specific characters used and shows a blank box instead.
