#Writing backwards

Writing backwards

Writing backwards, as in the characters being arranged in reversed order (ex. below) is achieved through use of the U+202E character, aka RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE. This is used to force right-to-left writing, mostly for languages that are written RTL (although HTML & CSS nowdays support various ways of achieving that without use of U+202E.

Example
... nuf si sdrawkcab gnitirW

Please note that this example does not use U+202E, but only emulates the results.

Doing this has various side-effects. Mostly, it breaks some parts of the layout, as it is an override and as such also affects other text and HTML on the same or deeper levels when it is invoked.

Writing inverted

Writing inverted, as in the characters being flipped upside-down and then mirrored on the vertical axis (ex. below) is achieved through use of various UTF characters that resemble a "normal" character manipulated this way.

Example
ǝɯosǝʍɐ sı ƃuıʇıɹʍ pǝʇɹǝʌuı ʇnq ˙˙˙
