There are really three choices:
1) Don't encode it at all and rely on higher-level protocols to display it.

I would say to use higher level mark-up or images for this. I don't see
any reason to start down the road of encoding upside down Chinese

I would say that semantically upside-down-fu would be as distinct and useful -

Say,
span style=display:inline-block; transform: rotate(180);福/span到了
