Add finalized tag now that the sandbox can be filtered to exclude tags
Reverse your quine [released]
# Challenge

Write a program that prints its reversed self. For example, if your code is
```
foo()
```

Then it'll output:
```
)(oof
```

Make sure that the quine is a valid one, as defined [here](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/279189):

> No cheating -- that means that you can't just read the source file and print it. Also, in many languages, an empty file is also a quine: that isn't considered a legit quine either.
>
> Additionally, your quine may not consist of only one data section. This includes HTML programs without tags (thus only printing their source), and the Golfscript program `1`.

# Further Rules
- [Function answers aren't allowed.](https://codegolf.codidact.com/comments/thread/4513#comment-13643)
- This is <a class="badge is-tag">code-golf</a>, so the shortest program in each language wins!

Figuring out if it's a good idea is exactly what the Sandbox is for, no need to explicitly state it :)
