What the upside down text symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 62 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Basic Latin (30), IPA Extensions (12) and Latin Extended-B (4).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Letter | 48 | ɐ q ɔ | U+0070–U+0254 | Text presentation |
| Symbol | 4 | ∀ ⅁ ∩ | U+2141–U+2229 | Text presentation |
| Emoji or pictograph | 10 | 0 1 2 | U+0030–U+0034 | Emoji 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 bubble text symbols and cursive letter symbols. For a deeper explanation, read Fancy Text and Accessibility: A Practical Guide. Short on time? Start with 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.

Keyboard entry for upside down text symbols
Copying is quicker, but these are typeable too. On Windows the alt code is the character's decimal code point; in Word the hexadecimal followed by Alt X does the same job without a keypad.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ɐ | Latin Small Letter Turned A | Alt 592 | 0250 | ɐ |
| ƃ | Latin Small Letter B With Topbar | Alt 387 | 0183 | ƃ |
| l | Latin Small Letter L | Alt 108 | 006C | l |
| ɹ | Latin Small Letter Turned R | Alt 633 | 0279 | ɹ |
| ʍ | Latin Small Letter Turned W | Alt 653 | 028D | ʍ |
| Ɔ | Latin Capital Letter Open O | Alt 390 | 0186 | Ɔ |
The alt-code route requires a real keypad and cannot address anything above U+FFFF. 1 entries here sit above that ceiling. The complete keyboard guide covers every platform method in full.

How upside down text symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Unicode keeps 65% of these in Basic Latin. The rest come from IPA Extensions and Latin Extended-B. You get two behaviours here.

The clipboard carries code points, not the drawing on this page, so weight, spacing and colour can all shift between iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and an exported PDF.
