Upside Down N
Rotate a lowercase n and you get a u. The two letters are the same shape.
An n is an arch resting on two legs; a u is the same arch flipped to be a cup. That makes the upside down n simply u (U+0075), a plain ASCII character that never fails to display. Rotation also works in reverse: flipping u gives n. The capital N is unusual because it looks the same after a half turn, so the generator leaves a capital N alone.
| Normal letter | N |
|---|---|
| Flipped | u |
| Unicode name | Latin Small Letter U |
| Code point | U+0075 |
| Capital form | N (U+004E) |
Where you will see u
A neat side effect is that n and u trade places, so nun flips to unu and unu flips right back to nun. Word-game fans use that pairing for puzzles, and chat users like it for short names because no unusual glyph is involved.

Good to know
Does flipping twice get my word back?
Yes. Reversing the order and rotating each letter is its own inverse, so flipping unu returns nun.
