What the mirror text symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 73 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Basic Latin (19), IPA Extensions (6) and Latin Extended-B (6).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Letter | 54 | ɒ ᙠ Ɔ | U+0186–U+1660 | Text presentation |
| Symbol | 5 | ⅃ ⌐ ¬ | U+00AC–U+2310 | Text presentation |
| Punctuation | 14 | ‹ › ⟨ | U+180A–U+27E9 | Text presentation |
Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.
Where to go next
Compare these choices with upside down text symbols and zalgo text symbols. For a deeper explanation, read Fancy Text and Accessibility: A Practical Guide. A faster route to the same point: is fancy unicode text the same as a font?.
Tip: A symbol should decorate a label, not replace it — plain words keep the meaning available to search and to assistive technology.

A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.
