Text Processing
Mirror text by swapping mirrored symbols (brackets, quotes, arrows, slashes) and reversing the string. Note: Unicode has no mirrored letter glyphs, so letters stay as-is. Plain Unicode text, no font needed.
Details
This tool mirrors text by swapping every symbol that has a mirrored counterpart — brackets () [] {} <>, quotes "" '', arrows ← →, slashes `/ `` — and then reversing the whole string so the mirrored symbols land in the correct reading position.
The honest limitation: Unicode does not have mirrored Latin-letter glyphs. There is no "mirrored H", "mirrored a" — so letters pass through unchanged. The mirroring is real and visible only on the symbols that genuinely have a counterpart (punctuation, brackets, arrows). This is the same "re-typography, not glyph-faking" approach used by the upside-down tool.
Toggle:
Hello (world) becomes )dlrow( olleH and reads correctly when held up to a mirror. Turn OFF to only swap the symbols without reversing order.How it works:
( → )), all others (letters, digits, CJK, emoji) pass through.Good to know: because letters don't mirror, a mirrored English sentence still shows normal letters inside mirrored punctuation — this is a fundamental Unicode limitation, not a bug. For a genuine visual mirror of letters you would need a graphics tool that flips the rendered image; no plain-text approach can do it. The result survives copy-paste anywhere.
Execution
Fill in the form, run the tool, and review the result in one place.

Tool usage guide
The Mirror Text tool allows you to reflect text by swapping symbols with mirrored counterparts—such as brackets, quotes, arrows, and slashes—and reversing the character sequence. Because it outputs plain Unicode text, the result can be copied and pasted anywhere, though standard letters remain unchanged due to Unicode limitations.
Background
A designer is creating a digital puzzle where clues must be read in a mirror, requiring brackets to flip correctly.
Problem
Standard text reversal leaves brackets pointing the wrong way when reflected.
How to use
Enter the text `(Hello) [World]` and keep 'Reverse order' enabled.
{"text": "(Hello) [World]", "reverseOrder": true}Outcome
The output becomes `[dlroW] (olleH)`, where the brackets are swapped and the text order is reversed.
Background
A creator wants to post a status update containing arrows pointing to a specific direction.
Problem
Reversing the text manually makes the arrows point the wrong way.
How to use
Input `say "hi" → done` and run the tool with 'Reverse order' checked.
Unicode does not have mirrored glyphs for standard Latin letters. The tool mirrors symbols like brackets, quotes, and arrows, but letters remain in their standard form.
It reverses the sequence of the characters from back to front, ensuring that the swapped symbols land in the correct reading position for mirror reflection.
Yes, the output is plain Unicode text and can be copied and pasted into any app, document, or social media platform.
It swaps brackets `() [] {} <>`, quotes `"" ''`, arrows `← →`, and slashes `/ \` with their respective mirrored counterparts.
No, the tool uses standard Unicode characters, so the output displays correctly on any device without custom fonts.
{"text": "say \"hi\" → done", "reverseOrder": true}Outcome
The text is reversed to `enod ← "ih" yas` with the arrow direction flipped.
