Copyleft symbol - html

Is there any easy way to print the copyleft symbol?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
For example as simple as:
© ©
It might be:
&anticopy; &anticopy;

What about some CSS ?
.copyleft {
display:inline-block;
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
<span class="copyleft">©</span>

It was just added as part of Unicode 11.0.
Code point: U+1F12F 🄯 COPYLEFT SYMBOL
html entity: 🄯 or 🄯

As smnbbrv said in his answer, it is unavailable. However, with some styling you can achieve the desired result:
span {
font: 18px Arial, sans-serif;
display: inline-block;
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
<span>©</span>
You have an html tag in your post, so I assume it's for webbased ends. This might be something you can use.

Simpler,
CSS:
.copyleft {
display: inline-block;
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
.copyleft::after {
content: "\00a9";
}
HTML:
<span class="copyleft"/>
Notes:
It uses CSS's content property to draw the copyleft symbol (CSS code) -- see table of special characters with their symbols

According to the article,
The copyleft symbol is a backwards C in a circle (copyright symbol ©
mirrored). It has no legal significance.[49]
Because it is unavailable on Unicode, it can be approximated with
character U+2184 ↄ LATIN SMALL LETTER REVERSED C or the more widely
available character U+0254 ɔ LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O between
parenthesis '(ɔ)' or, if supported by the application, by combining it
with the character U+20DD ↄ⃝ COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE: 'ↄ⃝'.[50] A
discussion on the Unicode mailing list in July 2012, contended that
there are other ways to insert the copyleft symbol, so it need not be
encoded.[51]
You need to read the articles you give till the end.
What you can always do is using CSS with 3d transformations, use for your letter:
transform: rotateY(180deg);
but of course be aware of vendor prefixes / browsers which do not support it

if your are familiar with font awesome you can use:
<i class="fa fa-copyright fa-flip-horizontal"></i>

These answers are good, but I found that the copyleft symbol would be very low relative to other characters of text on a given line, due to the nature of the rotation. To fix this, I added relative positioning so that I could slide my copyleft symbol up in order to be in-line with all of the text.
.copyleft {
position: relative;
top: -5px;
display:inline-block;
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
Tweak top as needed.

This solution is a little more expressive than the other options provided. By doing it this way, we have much cleaner HTML code.
copyleft:before {
content: "©";
}
copyleft {
font-weight:100;
opacity:0.7;
vertical-align:middle;
display:inline-block;
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
The final result in the HTML would be:
<copyleft />

Here is the code I use which just flip horizontally the © symbol.
/* Copyleft
-------------------------------------------------- */
.copyleft {
display: inline-block;
-moz-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-o-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-ms-transform: scale(-1, 1);
transform: scale(-1, 1);
}
<span class="copyleft">©</span>

As not every font is encoding the Unicode copyleft character, a trick using previous answers:
normal text <style>.copyleft {
display: inline-block;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
.copyleft::after {
content: "\00a9";
}
</style>
<span class="copyleft"></span>normal text again
Strangely, on Thunderbird, after <span class="copyleft"/> normal text is mirrored but <span class="copyleft"></span> works smoothly.
Inline CSS is not the best but for Thunderbird it does the trick and you can just insert <span class="copyleft"></span> for following occurrences.

Flip an arrow character

Hello I found this arrow that I like ➣ ➣, I am trying to get the opposite direction for this arrow but cannot seem to find one. I noticed that when I found it on this page: http://character-code.com/arrows-html-codes.php there was an additional code listed (➣), but this just makes the same right-arrow when I need a left one.
Does a left arrow for this not exist?
<span>➣</span>
span {
transform: rotate(180deg);
display: inline-block;
}
This doesn't provide an opposite unicode arrow. It rotates the original arrow 180 degrees.
Even better is to flip the arrow horizontally. This CSS should do that.
transform: scale(-1);
filter: flipH;
-ms-filter: flipH;
span.rotate {
transform: rotate(180deg);
display: inline-block;
}
div.flipped {
display: inline-block;
-moz-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-o-transform: scale(-1, 1);
-ms-transform: scale(-1, 1);
transform: scale(-1, 1);
}
<div>Rotated
<span class="rotate">➣</span>
</div>
<div>Flipped
<div class="flipped">➣</div>
</div>
There is no opposite-direction character corresponding to U+27A3 THREE-D BOTTOM-LIGHTED RIGHTWARDS ARROWHEAD. A sufficient proof is that if you search a Unicode character data base, e.g. using BabelMap, for characters with names containing THREE-D, you find only U+27A3 and U+27A2 THREE-D TOP-LIGHTED RIGHTWARDS ARROWHEAD. If there were a corresponding leftwards character, it would be practically certain that its name is similar, just with RIGHTWARDS replaced by LEFTWARDS.
#Mouser has suggested nice workarounds, but I thought the question as asked deserves to be answered, too.

How to make a text with skewed line but not letters?

I have a skewed text in HTML/CSS.
Like this: (http://jsfiddle.net/UPeYT/)
p {
-webkit-transform: skew(-8deg);
-moz-transform: skew(-8deg);
-o-transform: skew(-8deg);
transform: skew(-8deg);
}
I would like the alignment of the text to skew but the words themselves to not be italic. How whould I do that?
I've built something that I needed, but I'm not sure if it is exactly what you need. Essentially I'm taking a paragraph, skewing it, then splitting each word into it's own span with the skew reversed. I'm sure this is horrid for performance on a repaint though.
fiddle
CSS:
span {
-webkit-transform: skew(-18deg);
-moz-transform: skew(-18deg);
-o-transform: skew(-18deg);
transform: skew(-18deg);
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
p {
-webkit-transform: skew(18deg);
-moz-transform: skew(18deg);
-o-transform: skew(18deg);
transform: skew(18deg);
padding:30px;
}
javascript (uses jquery):
$(document).ready(function(){
var words = $('p').text().split(' ');
$('p').empty();
for (var i=0;i<words.length;i++){
if (words[i]!='') {
$('p').append('<span>'+words[i]+'</span> ');
}
}
});
The HTML is simply a P tag with whatever content.
Something like this?
I append parent to <p> element and apply the opposite!
see: http://jsfiddle.net/joseapl/UPeYT/9/
Just a thought, but I guess it's the only right answer:
This is not possible. Let me show you how I came to that answer. I tried it with font-style: italic, which should not change the text if the skew made it italic for me, but it does not make it italic by default. It's just the transformation of the skew that makes it this way. If you change the degree, you'll see it get's straighter. It rotates the text and than it looks like it's italic, but it is not.
Here is what I mean: http://jsfiddle.net/UPeYT/7/
You can see that it's very different than yours: http://jsfiddle.net/UPeYT/10/
You can wrap the lines in a span or p tag. you want to indent and give them a text-indent to achieve what you want.

Transform creating wavy text in Firefox

Folks, I have text on a div that has transform: rotate(3deg). In Firefox, the text is rendered wavy. Removing the transform to the div fixes the waviness. Is there a way for me to have my cake and eat it too?
HTML:
<div class="card turn-right">
<div class="card-text">
<p>Blah. Blah. Blah.</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.card {
display: block;
width: 550px;
height: 375px;
}
.turn-right {
-webkit-transform: rotate(3deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(3deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(3deg);
-o-transform: rotate(3deg);
transform: rotate(3deg);
}
Edit:
Additional information: I have to use a #font-face for this project.
Screenshot:
Try adding perspective
.turn-right {
-webkit-transform: perspective(9999px) rotate(3deg);
transform: perspective(9999px) rotate(3deg);
}
No need for -moz-transform in modern browsers
By the way, the same bug is present in webkit browsers.
Why does this work ?
I don't have a real answer, because I don't have the source for the browser. But my guess is the following. The browsers have a very good rendering engine, that can do lots of things, and does it pretty well. But doing all this is most of the time expensive (read: makes the browser slow). So, most of the time it is trying to guess: is this really necessary ? Do I really need to calculate the xxxx of the yyyy in the zzzz to display this ?
And some of the bugs come from that guess being incorrect, and omiting a necesary calculus.
The solution then, is to put there something that makes the browser rendering engine think "wait, I really need to calculate that, that is not the easy case".
Also in this line are fixes like translate3d(0,0,0) or translateZ(0) or backface-visibility hidden . What is the sense in translating something 0px ? They force the browser to do something the complicated way instead of the easy way, and solve - optimize the result.

I'd like to write some text on a circle (I mean, the text will not be horizontal, but every letter will have a different orientation).
Is it possible using html and css?
Thanks you!
There isn't any super simple standardized way to set web type on a circle (or any kind of curve). But it can be done! We'll explore one way to do it here. But be forewarned, we're going to use some CSS3 and JavaScript and not give two hoots about older browsers that don't support some of the required tech. If you're interested in this for a real project, this kind of thing is probably still best served by and image with proper alt text, or proper feature detection which can flip out the image for this fancy technique in browsers that can handle it.

You can but you will end up having to do some major math to accomplish your goal. You will want to use the following CSS as a starting point.
.rotate {
/* Safari */
-webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Firefox */
-moz-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* IE */
-ms-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Opera */
-o-transform: rotate(-90deg);
/* Internet Explorer */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);
}

can i tilt an image easily using HTML or CSS?

some designs on the Apple's user's webpage show a photo that is tilted slightly, like at a 5 or 10 degree angle. while this is no big deal, it does make the webpage totally different from "all the rest".
is it true that currently using HTML or CSS, this can't be done yet?
like the big photo in the middle:
alt text http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/383/phototilt.png
(the program lets you choose photos and then create the page (html and jpg) dynamically for you)
CCS 3 will offer this possibility, but it's still not cross-browser and you cannot do it with traditional HTML + CSS... yet.
Websites having a tilted image do it by rotating it in, say, Photoshop and making its background transparent. That's the whole trick there's to it.
Tip: save that picture to your HD and see by yourself. That's probably just an squared image with transparent background, or maybe it has the current background cut nicely to fit there.
You can do it, but only in Firefox 3.5+ and Safari 3.2+ (and recent webkit based browsers). Both provide browser specific CSS extensions for skew: -moz-transform and -webkit-transform respectively.
Here's a nice example that builds a 3d looking cube out of divs: (from http://www.fofronline.com/2009-04/3d-cube-using-css-transformations/)
<div class="cube">
<div class="topFace">
<div>
Content
</div>
</div>
<div class="leftFace">
Content
</div>
<div class="rightFace">
Content
</div>
</div>
And CSS:
.cube {
position: relative;
top: 200px;
}
.rightFace,
.leftFace,
.topFace div {
padding: 10px;
width: 180px;
height: 180px;
}
.rightFace,
.leftFace,
.topFace {
position: absolute;
}
.leftFace {
-webkit-transform: skewY(30deg);
-moz-transform: skewY(30deg);
background-color: #ccc;
}
.rightFace {
-webkit-transform: skewY(-30deg);
-moz-transform: skewY(-30deg);
background-color: #ddd;
left: 200px;
}
Yes, with CSS3 you can:
-webkit-transform: rotate(20deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(20deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(20deg);
-o-transform: rotate(20deg);
transform: rotate(20deg);
Supported by all the modern browsers and IE9+.
See CSS transform on MDN for more information.
To my knowledge you can not do that. Are you sure the image you are thinking of isn't tilted in Photoshop or similar and just added to the page like that?
You can use Apple specific CSS attributes (soon to be ratified, and then they'll remove the webkit prefixes for them) to do this and animation effects, but it will only show up in Safari and Chrome right now. Still, they look quite pretty and CSS is simple to do.
Right now it's probably just done in Photoshop, and nicely anti-aliased there as well, so that it has a consistent cross-browser appearance.
We are doing something similar at work, we have to do it on the fly.
You can't do it with just html/css, however we are using an image library through a php script to generate them automatically, and then make the background transparent.
Use a PHP GD Library. Makes things so much easier.
No. You can't.
Tilting images and text is still JavaScript juju.
Edit: Or, at least, you couldn't with CSS2. Starting with CSS3, there's the transform property, which includes rotations.
