Horisontally Mirroring Text
This translator works by first reversing the direction of your characters, and then trying to individually find a unicode character which best reversed version of each of the characters that you type. Unfortunately there aren't mirrored characters for every letter and number, but there are some vauguely similar ones which are used to fill the gaps.
If you find a unicode character which better represents a letter or number, then please put it in the suggestions box! Thanks :)
If you don't want the individual letters to flip, but instead just want the text to reverse its direction, then there's another translator called "Text Reverser" which can help you with that.

Another interesting use case of text with a reversed direction is in the case of some emergency vehicles like ambulances:
This is done so that when the text is looked at through a mirror, it appears
Again, if you have any suggestions, please put them in the suggestions box :) Thanks for using my translator!
