The lower case mirrors the capitals. Other glyphs are unchanged.
A palindrome is sequence of units (letters, digits, whatever) that can be read the same way in either direction.

If you know examples in other languages, I would be glad to read them.
I know some in my Polish language:
KAJAK (kayak - palindrome in English too :D)
SEDES (Toilet)
POP
OBAMA A, MA BO ("Obama have got because")
CIOTA A TO CI! ("Gay for you!")
LETNI INTEL (means "Summer Intel" :D)
To be honest, I expected a bit more interest. Palindromes are very exciting after all.
@Neoqueto: An example picture with a rear-view mirror? It would show the text reversed back to normal by the mirror, so what's the point?
hte title was confusing, since it's mirror instead. None the less it didn"t reduce my interest.
Reversed numbers?
KAYAK
@brynda1231: Yes, you're right. I should have done the mirrored numbers too.
KAYAK is already on the list above. There are plenty more palindromes on the web, some of them as long as a paragraph.
There is LAVAL, a town in France and in Canada :)
B, C, D, and Z are mirrored even on the capitals.
@ImmaPooh: I tried to mirror all the letters and numbers, but something didn't work properly. (Perhaps, with the SAVE function?) I did the whole operation twice, saw the mixed results, then I gave up.
I'll test it.
@Frodo7: Works for me.
@Frodo7: Try manually changing them.
It worked.
Hola, dear master! Too long without commenting here and I want to write a lot of things accumulates one after another like a skein of wool. I will try to untangle some of them.
Look this rare - inverse palindrome:
@elmoyenique: Your sample is super cool. I'm not sure what "inverse palindrome" means. But you've managed to mirror the text around its vertical axis (that goes through the middle of the letter "I") and around its horizontal axis at the same time, and still preserved perfect symmetry. Wow!
Thank you, master: it's only a joke (powerred by the great mathematician Martin Garder): You can read the same text turning it 180º, sure.
