Backwards Text Generator
Generate reversed or mirrored text to use in your social media posts, bios, instant messages, browser tabs, and just about anywhere online.
How does the backwards text generator work?
Turning text backwards is simple. A small bit of code that reverses the order of the letters you type.
How does the mirrored text generator work?
Unicode is the standard encoding for all computer characters. It a global agreement on how our devices render the symbols for all languages, math, and even emoji.
The mirrored text generator replaces the roman alphabet with symbols with other uses. So long as those characters look like the reverse of the roman characters.
Where do the mirrored unicode characters come from?
There are no unicode characters defined for mirror writing. But most letters have a similar backwards version used in a different writing system.
Some roman characters are symetrical and already look the same backwards. These ones stay the same. Many of the other letters are swapped with symbols from the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).
The IPA is a set of symbols used by linguists to describe the exact sounds of spoken languages.
Use the table below to see which letters the tools swaps out.
