I know that both Japanese & Mandarin have a couple of words where it’s a thing, like 施設 (しせつ) from JP which becomes 設施 (shèshī) in ZH, even though they use the same 漢字 since the only difference is that the characters are flipped but retain the same definition between the two languages. Even in Japanese itself there are words where the placement of 漢字 can be reversed, like 礼儀 (“manners”) & 儀礼 (“etiquette”) for instance.
It’s called a palindrome in english and it is quite a well indexed phenomenon.
Given the zh/jp examples given, I don’t think the OP is looking for palindromes.
Oh, yes. Looking for words that mean the same thing backwards and forward but have different forms.
That’s probably a bigger ask with a phonetic alphabet. I think if a word consists of a combination of two symbols, the order of the symbols is much less important than that they are both present, but I haven’t studied those languages.
no… palindrome is mirrored… you mean ambigram (rotated 180°)
