    Apparently, as well as being a palindrome, it's also an ambigram. Even after googling ambigram, I'm still not entirely sure what it is.

    Anyone know when the next palindrome/ambigram combined date is?

    What is an ambigram?
    Today's date is 22 February 2022 and it is written numerically as 22/02/2022 and can be read the same upside down which is an ambigram.

    If you can read it the same backwards and forwards, this is called an palindrome.

    That the part (in bold italics) I don't quite understand. How is it the same upside down? Turn a zero upside down, it's still a zero, but a 2 can't be turned upside down & still be a 2 can it?

    Apparently, it will be Feb 8, 2080 that will be both a palindrome and an ambigram.

    So it's an ambiguous ambigram, an ambi-ambi.
