What Does a Text Reverser Do?
A text reverser takes a string of characters and outputs them in the opposite order. There are two main modes:
- Reverse characters: "Hello World" → "dlroW olleH" (each character reversed)
- Reverse words: "Hello World" → "World Hello" (word order reversed, each word stays intact)
Practical Uses for Text Reversal
- Programming practice: Reversing strings is a classic coding interview question.
- Palindrome checking: A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards (e.g., "racecar", "madam").
- Puzzle creation: Create word puzzles or riddles by hiding text in reverse.
- Simple obfuscation: Reversing text makes it harder to read at a glance (though it's not encryption).
- Right-to-left languages: Some tools reverse text for testing RTL (right-to-left) layout rendering.

Palindromes: Where Reversal Gets Interesting
A palindrome is a word, sentence, or number that reads the same forwards and backwards. Famous examples: "racecar", "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama", "Was it a car or a cat I saw?"
FAQ
Does reversing text work with Unicode/emoji?
Basic emoji work fine. Complex emoji made of multiple code points (like flags or skin-tone variants) may not reverse correctly as they consist of multiple Unicode characters internally.
