҉ = Backwards Text in Windows

[Lexcyn]

҉It still doesn't work ... okay maybe it does now hahaha lol҉

[gigapixels Veteran]

Hey peeps, better option...

Open attached .txt (you will see an empty file)

Do a Crtl+A to select anything (the character is not visible)

Ctrl+V before what will be reversed.

Should work with anything.

You won't have an useless weird symbol anymore....

Reverse_Text_Switch.zip

Ah, that works now. Very strange...

Ah, that works now. Very strange...

The Firework is a glitch and mine is an official switch.

҉Does anyone else find it hard to type this in? At least on my end, as I type it, it is actually putting it in backwards for me. So, it is quite confusing. :) (XP SP2 Firefox. )

[RudyJ]

select a bit of text that is reverse and then in firefox right-click, view selection source, even the HTML code is in reverse :laugh:

[Harlem39s Finest]

҉lol this is kewl

[planetik]

I found out something else too. Try pressing return (enter) on a line that contains the symbol.

҉digg much?

[Amnesia]

҉this is stupid. I'm copying it, pasting it, typing and it is NOT working.

For you people who said 'don't lie', why would we lie! It doesn't work!

[Manic9803]

Guys I didnt believe them either but it works now I used the TXT file from the above poster.

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

[jelli]

҉How very odd this is, now if only this would be of more use than just pure amusement, hahaha it is also spell checking words backwards as well :D

I think it's pretty obvious by now that the strange character causes Windows to recognize you're trying to type a RTL language rather than a LTR one (is it Cryllic?).

way to kill everyone's fun.

[Jesse Carlton]

it is a unicode control character for reversing text....not too special

[not a printable character]

U+202B RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING

General Character Properties

Unicode category: Other, Format

Various Useful Representations

UTF-8: 0xE2 0x80 0xAB

UTF-16: 0x202B

C octal escaped UTF-8: \342\200\253

? commonly abbreviated RLE

The character is right-to-left-override, as was mentioned previously (not right-to-left-embedding). Right to left embedding (\u202B) will make the line direction right to left but leave the character direction alone? generally you?ll see the effect on punctuation at the end of the sentence. Right to left override (\u202E) forces each character to be treated as though it were right-to-left and makes them follow each other in right-to-left order.

omfg it worked for me, not it doesn't anymore. it's hard to get, but how i did it was i pasted the symbol and typed stuff after it, it just flips the text!
