> ¿uÊop-Çpısdn ʇxÇʇ sıɥʇ sı ÊŽÉ¥ÊWow! It even copied upside-down! OK... I give up; how did you do it? (Years ago, a lefty friend told me that she could visualize da Vinci's mirror-writing in her head and transfer it to paper; a lefty, too, I experimented and found it to be true. )

Hmm...because it's not actually upside down? (The name of the thread is a hint.) The sharp-eyed observer will note that the letter i lacks a dot, and that the letter t is a descender (similar to the y). In addition, the o, s and x (!) are in fact right side up, and the d, n, p and u are simply right side up p, u, d and n, respectively. That still leaves a few genuinely inverted characters, but those can all be found (using the Character Palette, for instance) among the "IPA Extensions" in the Unicode "Latin" category (Unicode 0250/UTF8 C9 90 through Unicode 02AF/UTF8 CA AF). Oh, except for the upside down question mark, which is part of the Latin-1 Supplement (Unicode 00BF/UTF8 C2 BF). Um, did I get any of that right?

Excellent! (That's why my SAT Verbal score was what it was.)

Um, did I get any of that right? Oh yes. And aside from Character Palette, there's also an old (Jaguar-vintage, ppc) program called FontRevealer which can quickly break down all the various [ASCII-/Uni]codes, and/or font substitutions.
