Cool. Suggestion: follow the Turkish i with a combining dot below.
He's used Hebrew final nun for the inverted l in "also" but of course now he should use the Lhuydian inverted l at U+A781.
Wait a minute, we have had U+1D09 (LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED I) since 4.0, and U+1D77 (LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED G) since 4.1, and now that 5.1 is released we also have U+A781 LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED L.
So I think that the comment should be:
ʞɔɐqpǝǝɟ uʍop ǝpᴉsdn
• +++++++ɐ ¡uoᴉʇɔɐsuɐɹʇ ʇɐǝɹᵷ
¡ʇuǝɯʎɐd ʇsɐɟ ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ noʎ ʞuɐɥʇ 'ppɐ oʇ pǝʇuɐʍ osꞁɐ ᴉ
which displays OK with latest versions of both Everson Mono and Code2000 (except for the vertical alignment of the turned g).
