# Text Reverser

> Reverse text by character, word or line — useful for puzzles, testing and mirrored strings.

To reverse text, paste it above and choose whether to reverse characters, words or lines. Character mode is Unicode-aware and handles emoji correctly, so multi-byte characters are not split apart during the reversal.

## FAQ

### Why does reversing text sometimes break emoji?

Because reversing by character splits sequences that must stay together — a flag is two regional indicators, and a family emoji is several code points joined by zero-width joiners. Reversing those produces different symbols or replacement boxes.

### What is the difference between reversing characters and words?

Reversing characters turns "hello world" into "dlrow olleh". Reversing words keeps each word intact and flips their order, giving "world hello". They are different operations and rarely interchangeable.
