How does it turn text upside down?

Each character is swapped for a Unicode symbol that resembles it rotated, and then the whole string is reversed. Reversal matters because a real 180 degree turn also swaps left and right.

Which characters are covered?

Basic Latin letters in both cases, the digits 0 to 9 and common punctuation such as ? ! . , and brackets. Anything without a mapping, such as accented letters or emoji, is passed through unchanged.

Why do some letters look the same?

Letters like o, s, x, z, H, I and N look the same when rotated, so they map to themselves. Others swap partners, with b and q, d and p, and n and u.

Will the flipped text display everywhere?

Most current systems render it, but it relies on characters from phonetic and other Unicode blocks. An older font or a strict form field may show boxes, and screen readers will read them oddly.
