 These two utilities don't do much, but can accomplish a lot when combined
 with I/O redirection and other text filters.

+# UNIX text filters, part 2.3 of 3: rev
+
+*This post is part of a [series](../../series)*
+
+Of all the simple programs I am dedicating a post to in this series,
+`rev` is probably the simplest of them all.  So simple that it is
+easy to forget about: `rev` prints each line of standard input to
+standard output, reversing the order of the characters. For example:
+
+```
+$ printf 'This is\na very short post' | rev
+si sihT
+tsop trohs yrev a
+```
+
+Since [text is complicated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd5uJ7Nlvvo),
+`rev` will read the environment variable `LC_CTYPE` to determine what
+constitutes a character.
+
+And that's it. See you soon for another (longer) post in this series.
