That line displayes fine in a preview. When I first saw this thread's title, I thought for a seconds it was written in Egyptian.

Neat idea, Phil. For those of us on the correct side of the planet (nods to Stu), a right-side up "translation" at the end would be nice - flipping this anchor of a monitor upside-down to read it isn't going to happen.

It's unicode - the site I linked to has a simple java-based mapping of one character to its rotated equivalent in the unicode character set.  If it doesn't work (for example in the title bar of Firefox, even though the text is OK), that means the software or the OS doesn't support it.
