sʎɐʍ unɟ ɹǝɥʇo puɐ uʍop ǝpısdn ƃuıʇıɹʍ

The site's been around for a while, but I recently discovered a site that uses Unicode to let you write text upside down.

Here is an example:

˙ʎɹǝʌɐɹq ǝuıuıɯǝɟ ɟo sɯɹoɟ ǝɥʇ ɟo ǝuo sı ʎʇısoıɹnɔ

Users of Linux may know of figlet. You can use this web figlet site to help you create figlet messages in various fonts.

Here is an example (font: three-point):

/~`    _. _  _._|_    . _   _  _  _    _  |`  _|_|_  _ 
\_,|_|| |(_)_\| | \/  |_\  (_)| |(/_  (_)~|~   | | |(/_
                  /                                    
 |` _  _ _ _  _   _  |`   |` _  _ _ . _ . _  _   
~|~(_)| | | |_\  (_)~|~  ~|~(/_| | ||| ||| |(/_

|_  _ _    _  _   
|_)| (_|\/(/_| \/.
               /  

Not quite as common, but some Linux users may also be familiar with cowsay. This site is an improvement over cowsay, providing other creatures as well.

Here are some examples:
