Description:
 upsidedown is a simple Python program that takes
input from stdin and pipes it to stdout reversing
latin characters and punctuation marks by using
latin character based symbols from Unicode so that
an impression of upside-down written text is
created.

Simply save this program, make sure Python is
installed and add the script to the Kopete pipes
plugin (see attached screenshot).

You can enhance the script by adding special
substitution rules (see variable TRANSLITERATIONS
which has an example for German sharp-S).Support
for diacritics is included but fails on common
rendering systems for most cases as no rendering
rules exist for these artificial instances.

Feel free to comment.
