Upside down text in browsers and applications

Question

Check out the answer to this question. How did the inverted text appear as text? In other words, I was expecting it to be an image.

Why don't you ask on that question, or if you have a new question come up with a much better headline. — rooftop, Apr 30 '12 at 14:55

Thanks. That seems like the best approach since it is standard agnostic and will run on any browser that supports unicode. – Raheel Khan Apr 30 '12 at 15:09
try to use this .txtUpsideDown { filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2); /* IE6,IE7 / ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2)"; / IE8 / -moz-transform: rotate(-180deg); / FF3.5+ / -o-transform: rotate(-180deg); / Opera 10.5 / -webkit-transform: rotate(-180deg); / Safari 3.1+, Chrome */ position: absolute; } – Arif Oct 10 '12 at 09:16
