Word Set Square
Challenge
Given a string, e.g. Hello
, do the following:
Mirror it:
Hello -> HelloolleH
and create a right triangle using it as the sides:
H
ee
l l
l l
o o
o o
l l
l l
e e
HelloolleH
Which looks sort of like a set square.
That's it!
Scoring
This is code-golf. Shortest answer in each language wins.

Anonymous tacit prefix function. Reuires 0-based indexing (⎕IO←0
)
(⊢⍪⍨¯1↓⊢,∘↑-∘⍳∘≢↑¨⊢)⊢,⌽
⌽
reverse the argument
⊢,
prepend the argument
(
…)
apply the following tacit function to that:
⊢
on the characters of the argument
…↑¨
of each character, take this many characters:
-∘⍳∘≢
the negative indices $0…\text{length}-1$
…∘↑
mix list of strings into character matrix, then:
⊢,
prepend the argument (vertically)
¯1↓
drop the last row
⊢⍪⍨
append the argument below

Full program:
s=gets+$_.reverse
puts [s[0]]+s[1..-2].chars.zip(0..).map{_1+' '*_2+_1}<<s
Note that this is not fit for interactive use because it looks weird when you input trailing newlines. In bash, try echo -n Hello | ruby wordsetsquare.rb

Outputs an array of lines.

s=>[...x=s.split``].concat(x.reverse()).reduce((l,c,i,a)=>l+`
`+(a[i+1]?c+' '.repeat(i-1)+c:a.join``))
The first part creates the 'mirrored' string in an array. reduce
starts with the first element (which conveniently handles the top vertex of the triangle) and calls the provided function for each later element, with the arguments being the previous value, the element, its index, and the array. a[i+1]
is a way of checking for the last element: it is undefined
(which is falsy) for the last element, and a character (truthy) for the rest.
