In terms of symmetry, only certain letters can be considered symmetrical. These include letters such as A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y. These letters have either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal symmetry, meaning they can be divided into two equal parts that mirror each other. Other letters like B, C, D, E, K, and S do not have symmetry and are considered asymmetrical.

Some letters, like A are left-right symmetrical but not up-down symmetrical.
Some letters, like B, C, or D are up-down symmetrical but not left-right.
Letters like H, I and O are both.
The letters that are both horizontally and vertically symmetrical are "H," "I," "O," "X," and "W." These letters maintain their appearance when flipped along both axes. Other letters may be symmetrical along one axis but not the other. For example, "A" is vertically symmetrical but not horizontally.

They are SYMMETRICAL on the Y-axis
Something that is asymmetrical is the opposite of something that is symmetrical. Something that is symmetrical possesses an internal mirror image; it is visually equal (but reversed) across a potentially imaginary line. The letters b and d are symmetrical, for instance; they are visually mirrors of one another. Something that is asymmetrical, then, is something that has no symmetry: the letters s and r, for instance, are not mirror images of one another and thus are asymmetrical.
Because they are perfectly symmetrical. go ahead and draw a square then look at it in the mirror :)
