An image that is laterally inverted.
When the incident light rays are falling towards the mirror in such a way that the light rays after falling on the mirror meet at any point in front of the mirror than an image is formed in front of the mirror which can be taken on a screen and as the image can be taken on a screen it is known as a real image. So, plane mirrors can form real images.
The image formed in a plane mirror will appear to be the same size as the object, located the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, and laterally inverted (left and right reversed). The image will look like a virtual reflection of the object.
Words appear different when held up to a mirror because the mirror reflects images as a mirror image, causing the text to appear backwards. This occurs because the mirror reverses the direction of the light that bounces off the text before it reaches our eyes.
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
In a plane mirror, your image is located directly behind the mirror at the same distance as you are from the mirror. The image appears to be the same size and orientation as the object but reversed left to right.

Mirror letters appear different because when you look at a reflection, the orientation of the letters is reversed. This change in orientation can make the letters appear different or unfamiliar to us.
Letters with bilateral symmetry about a vertical plane, such as H, appear the same in a mirror. Others do not because the image is laterally inverted.

One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual image.
