Check a palindrome
A palindrome reads the same from left to right and from right to left. Examples include racecar and Never odd or even.
Enter a word or phrase in Character mode. The tool shows Palindrome when the letters and numbers read the same in both directions. The check ignores spaces, punctuation, and letter case.
Reverse text, mirror text, and upside down text
These text effects have different results:

HellobecomesolleH. - Mirror text uses characters that look horizontally reflected.
