Note: The text won't appear correctly if your browser doesn't support unicode. I heard about the site from a CNET news article.

It works for me at home in Firefox, but not at work using IE. I have made sure that I am using Unicode (UTF-8). Like that <blink> tag it just seems a useless annoying option that makes the HTML format less useable. This was not the intent of Unicode.

Not work in IE. Quelle surprise! I am unsure whether IE even supports unicode. Still this should not be a massive problem unless you work for Textinversion Int'l Corp. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

If you watch 'The History Of NASA' backwards, it's about a space agency that has no manned spaceflight capability, then does low-orbit flights, then lands on the Moon.

Interesting, over on /. the Geek Culture headlines section didn't render the upside-down text properly.

Look at the top of this window. It doesn't there, either. Looks like it's dropping the multibyte characters.

Renders fine for me (Ubuntu Linux, Epiphany browser).
[edit] Renders fine in Ubuntu/Firefox.
Mac/Safari renders properly.
Mac/Firefox renders properly.
Mac/IE - doesn't render.
WinXP/Firefox text within window renders properly, but not the window title.
WinXP/IE - doesn't render.

Displays correctly in Opera too. I suspect they're using a mix of UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters. IE only supports UTF-8.
