Ambigram Generator

This tool creates text designs readable from multiple orientations by selecting letterforms with rotational or reflective symmetry properties using Unicode character mappings. The generator analyzes input text character by character, mapping each standard Latin letter to symmetric variants from extended Unicode blocks when available, and applies geometric transformations to achieve ambigram effects that maintain readability when rotated or flipped.

The system primarily supports rotational ambigrams viewable correctly after 180-degree rotation, using characters like upside-down 'a' (ɐ), inverted 'e' (ǝ), and flipped 'w' (ʍ). Character substitution logic replaces standard ASCII letters with carefully selected Unicode equivalents designed for dual-orientation readability. When perfect rotational symmetry isn't achievable with available Unicode characters, the algorithm provides best-effort approximations using visually similar glyphs while indicating potential readability limitations.

Canvas rendering displays the resulting ambigram with visual rotation previews showing both normal and inverted orientations simultaneously for verification. Users can create artistic text suitable for logos requiring unique visual identity, tattoo designs that maintain meaning regardless of body orientation, decorative typography for invitations, or social media bio text. The browser-based generator provides instant previews without requiring specialized design software licenses or graphic design expertise.
