you are reading upside down – uʍop ǝpısdn ƃuıpɐǝɹ ǝɹɐ noʎ
I received this very nice link to a tool which let’s you write upside down via Adam Hayes; it basically allows anyone to switch characters from a text string into either ones which looks like or have been effectively drawn upside down (reversed 180°) in the characters table. In order to see the effect, you have to use a special font (pre-installed), a unicode compatible – no big business it’s pretty much a standard nowadays.
u -> n (using the “normal” n latin letter)
o -> o (staying the same)
y -> λ (using the greek letter lambda, whose html code is λ – it might use sometime characters designed with specific purposes like the phonetical alphabet)
Not only it is a very nice feature to show off on iChat or Msn, it’s also remembering me experience like the MITIM browser from Pierre which make a fair and clever use of simple technology at our direct disposal to explore the territories enlightened by Ryan Gander and his MITIM.
