What is in the list
Love lines come first: I love you upside down, then I miss you upside down and I like you upside down. Greetings and thanks follow. The lines under Turn your phone over are dares, such as read it upside down: they say nothing until the phone is turned.
The I love you upside down trick
Send the line with nothing beside it. It looks like a row of odd letters until the phone is turned half round. Then it reads from the left as usual, because the words were written last letter first.
Hello has a version in plain digits, 0.7734, and hi is 14. Neither can turn into empty boxes.
Every line is in small letters apart from the word I, so all of them share one set of turned characters.
Questions and answers
What are upside down messages?
Lines written last letter first, in characters that look like turned letters. Nothing is rotated. Each is an ordinary character, so the line pastes into a chat, a bio or a note and reads when the screen is turned round.
How do you write I love you upside down with numbers?
n0ʎ 3ʌ07 1. It has 1 for I, 7 for L, 0 for O and 3 for E, the letters those digits resemble on a calculator turned over. No digit looks like v, y or u, so the line has no digits-only spelling.
Is there a turn that frown upside down text?
Yes, under Turn your phone over: uʍop ǝpᴉsdn uʍoɹɟ ʇɐɥʇ uɹnʇ. Turned round it reads turn that frown upside down, so the reader does to the phone what the line says.
Can I make upside down messages text from my own words?
Yes. Type any line into the upside down text generator and copy what it writes. Every line on this page was made by that tool, then read back letter for letter.
Why does a letter arrive as an empty box?
A turned letter such as ʎ or ǝ is a character of its own, and a device with no font for it draws a box. Upside down letters names each one with its code point.

How this list was compiled: This site's own list of messages (2026-10-01). No line is typed turned: each plain line is passed through this site's upside down text tool and the result is read back letter for letter. The turned characters are the ones listed on this site's upside down letters page (UnicodeData.txt 18.0.0, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt). The lines are in small letters, apart from the word I, so that all of them use one set of turned characters. The digit table of the With numbers group (0 O, 1 I, 2 Z, 3 E, 4 h, 5 S, 6 g, 7 L, 8 B, 9 G) is the one in the Wikipedia article Calculator spelling, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_spelling, read 2026-10-01, which gives 0.7734 for hello; every number was checked against it.
