invert-text
A simple tool to generate inverted/upside-down/australiaized/upended/upturned text. Generates inverted text using Unicode characters.
A better mechanism for testing Localization (L10N) compared to translations of a different language, for two reasons:
- It's easy to quickly generate a JSON with inverted texts. (You don't need a paid translation API).
- When testing l10n on the interface, it's easy to identify if the right word/phrase is being translated (just need to rotate your head enough ).

- Works mainly with AlphaNumeric characters. Most other characters are returned without any inversion.
- Depending on the font used, some of the inverted characters can look odd/incorrect when inverted.
