Does it handle Unicode and emoji?

Yes. The tool correctly handles multi-byte Unicode characters and emoji, so reversing a string with emoji will not produce broken characters.

What is the difference between character and word reversal?

Character reversal flips every character in the string (abc becomes cba). Word reversal keeps each word intact but reverses their order (one two becomes two one).

Can I reverse text in a file?

The tool works with pasted text. Copy the contents of your file, paste them into the tool, reverse the text, and copy the result back into your file.
