    1. The code does not actually flip letters, but chooses existing Unicode characters that look like flipped letters. For instance, g becomes ƃ. Apparently, the best match for t happens to be a character that doesn't share the same baseline as the other letters.

      This also explains why capitals are not included: Unicode doesn't have enough 'upside-down' matches for them.

  4. Many years ago, I taught myself to read upside down. I have learned lots of things I probably wasn't supposed to that way.
