How does the "upside down text" thing work?

Can anyone explain how it's possible for text to be upside down such as : ʎʇɹǝʍb..

I know fliptext is used for it... but I'm after a technical explanation of the upside down characters... is it a Unicode thing? Or a font?

I know they aren't part of the ANSI set, and I can't say I've seen them before today... I'm just a but confused.

Thanks

    Those are all higher Unicode characters. Most of them aren't designed for actual flipping of text, thus the upside-down text isn't perfect.
