¡ʇǝʎ ǝpoɔıun ɹoɟ ǝsn ʇsǝq ǝɥʇ

With all the talk about the next version of Delphi fully supporting Unicode, I was pretty excited to find:

¡ʇǝʎ ǝpoɔıun ɹoɟ ǝsn ʇsǝq ǝɥʇ

Well, maybe the best use for those of us who typically only need to use standard ASCII characters. . . .

    So they’re going through their whole Delphi codebase to give us upside-down text? :-)

    Upside down characters? I’m guessing they are not part of the klingon character set.

    How is anyone supposed to take Unicode seriously with stuff like that in it?

  3. Jim McKeeth Says:

    A lot of the upside down characters are normal characters.

    p = d
    n = u
    etc. . .

    Some are the same either way, like ’s’

    and then others are used in other languages, or more complex typographical English characters. Just take a look in a pronunciation key in your dictionary and you will see all the vowels upside down.

    DaVinci had a thing for writing backwards in a mirror, so this is an entirely appropriate post for a web site named after him! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_writing
