There are a couple of ways to flip text without a website.
One could enter HTML code to create "upside down" text, but it is labor
intensive. You need to look up the necessary Unicode character numbers.
For example the HTML for the inverted characters for "Hello World!" are:
¡plɹoM ollǝH
which results in:
¡plɹoM ollǝH
Note that the characters are a mix of regular characters ("H", "o", "M",
"l", "p") and special characters (ɹ = "ɹ").
Alternatively, you can create an HTML-compatible document file with a
"flipped" character set. For example:
abcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
1234567890-=
!@#$%^&*() +
Becomes:
+ ()*⅋^%$#@¡
=-068ㄥ9ϛㄣƐᄅƖ
Z⅄XMΛ∩┴SɹQԀONW˥ʞſIHפℲƎpƆq∀

ʌnʇsɹbdouɯlʞɾᴉɥƃɟpǝɔqɐ
One can then copy and paste to create the flipped text. This is how one
created flipped text before websites were available. Before Unicode,
one had to be more creative using ASCII-only characters. I created a
mystery puzzle for rec.puzzles years ago using ASCII-only characters.
