Upside Down

Figure This! What letters, when written in lowercase, can be read the same upside down as right side up?

Hint: Write out each lowercase letter and look at it in different ways.

Symmetry is a basic geometric concept. Understanding how one part of an object mirrors the rest is important in art, design, medicine and other fields. An ambigram (for those who didn’t read Dan Brown’s “Angels and Demons” or see the movie) has rotational symmetry, so it can read the same upside down as right side up.

Solution is in the comments.

We might need another example to illustrate the idea of point or rotational symmetry, such as including playing cards (specifically the face cards) from a deck

From the diamond suite, with a royal flush, we could say that SECME has “winning hands.” Or with the ace as a single card we could be “aces.” Or we could create a new face card, the Hawk, since H is a letter with origin symmetry
