[SOLVED] How do I output the mirror image of this text?

szboardstretcher · 03-03-2011, 03:40 PM

I copied and pasted this from someones signature.

d/__\b

How did they write that horizontally mirrored 'd' at the end? How do I do that in Linux?

Isn't that a b, or do I miss something here?

Kind regards

Indeed. There's just such a mirrored 'd' in the OP's signature--at the beginning of the word "bottom"

I couldn't help but laugh.

Type D and B without pressing the shift-key ...

PS: Is this really a serious question or was it supposed to be a joke? I do remember having seen a similar question somewhere on the 'net' some time ago.

This question reminds me of sites like this one, which generate "upside down" text.

They simply reverse and replace the text you enter with other unicode characters that resemble them when inverted. The results aren't perfect as there aren't exact mirrors for everything, but the match is generally acceptable.
