Getting this out of the way: ‫‬‭‮‪‫‬‭‮҉

Post by Gowerlypuff » Tue Aug 28, 2007 11:05 am

Not sure how many of you already know about this symbol: ‫‬‭‮‪‫‬‭‮҉

It makes your text go backwards!

Well, it doesn't ACTUALLY make it go backwards, that's all done with invisible unicode, but it seems to be hidden around the cool symbol thing. I assume it's for arabic fonts.

February was some lyrics or quotes month or something. I don't even remember what year all this was.

Well, I thought it would be a nice way of getting my 2500th post in. That, and I'm sure someone else would have found it eventually and gone ZOMZOMZOMGOMDGOMZODGMDOGMSDOPHJ"!%£"^"$£WYH*_)unjwerjo or something.

Anyway, to use, c/p that circle thing in and type! It'll all come out Right to left. Hooray.

Wow, I totally didn't notice the backwards "posted by" part. I thought someone named "ma" posted it...

Is it weird that I can read those backwards sentences without much difficulty?

Of course not. You're in Australia, so since you read things upside-down anyway, backwards shouldn't be a real issue.

Note to others: Do not abuse this.

I assume it parses it the same phrase, so the thing affects it.

That's what I see :P

Although in the topic title it just shows up as a squished looking question mark.

Pretty interesting stuff. Can you reverse it mid sentence?
