Three different kinds of reversing
Reversing characters turns hello into olleh. Reversing words keeps each word intact and flips their order, so hello there world becomes world there hello. Reversing lines keeps everything on each line and flips the order of the lines themselves. They produce completely different results, and picking the wrong one is the usual reason the output looks unexpected.
What it is used for
- Checking whether a word or phrase is a palindrome.
- Flipping the order of a list without retyping it, such as putting a log oldest first.
- Puzzles, word games and classroom exercises.
- Novelty text for social media bios and usernames.
Where it breaks down
Reversing characters assumes each character is independent, and plenty are not. Emoji are often built from several code points joined together, so reversing the sequence can scramble them into something unrecognisable. Accented letters can be stored as a base letter plus a combining mark, which then attaches to the wrong letter. And right to left scripts such as Arabic and Urdu already display in a direction the browser controls, so reversing them rarely does what you expect.
