Reverse characters, word order, or line order

Reverse Unicode code points, whitespace-delimited token order, and physical line order as three separate results.

How it works

Character mode reverses code-point iteration, word mode reverses alternating text and whitespace tokens, and line mode reverses CRLF/LF rows. Code-point iteration preserves surrogate pairs, while line reconstruction uses LF.

  • All three interpretations appear together because each answers a different reversal task.
  • Unicode grapheme clusters are not preserved even though individual supplementary code points are.

Worked example

Reverse Characters
Reverse all characters in a string
Input
											Hello, World!
Output
												Characters: !dlroW ,olleH
Words: World! Hello,
Lines: Hello, World!

When to use this

Wordplay puzzles reverse phrases, editors invert pasted lists, and Unicode lessons contrast code points with grapheme clusters.

Edge cases

  • A family emoji joined by U+200D reverses by components and can render as a different or broken sequence.
  • Word mode reverses whitespace tokens too, so leading and trailing spaces exchange sides.
  • A trailing newline becomes an empty final row that moves to the beginning in line mode.
