>Ehhh, can't you better use an 'h' for an upside down '4' ???

I'm pretty certain I recognize the mapping.  The reason ascflip leaves
"4" alone in all the mappings is that there's really no ASCII character
that'd have the overall shape of an upside-down "4".  About the closest
approximation for contours would be "q", but that'd pretty much ruin
any textures containing "4".  "V" also comes close, but breaks subtly
in certain contexts because both of its sides slope.

Of course, you can always make your own map file - it's not that hard.
