Because they are perfectly symmetrical. go ahead and draw a square then look at it in the mirror :)

they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
Some of the letters don't have a line of symmety because some are not equally the same size.
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.
It is the same as in shapes, the ability to be divided into two equal halves either vertically or horizontally. Not all letters have a line of symmetry, and some have two (H, X, O).
Everything that is seen as a plane mirror reflection is left/right reversed. This reversal might not be as apparent, with some shapes. A sphere for example, might require very close scrutiny to see that its reflection is left/right reversed, but it is always so. The same reasoning may be applied to any object with left/right symmetry.
