The palindrome date today is grabbing netizens‘ attention, who are referring to it as “mirror day” or “Twosday.”
If the slash is deleted and the date 22/02/2022 is read backward and forwards, it becomes a palindrome. And because it is also the same when upside down, it is also an ambigram.
But what is a Palindrome?
Britannica says that a palindrome is a word, number, sentence, or verse that reads the same backward or forward. The term derives from the Greek Palin dromo (“running back again.”)
This tweet sums it up:

“It happens once before a thousand years ago,” said Lani Global in a tweet.
It happened once before a thousand years ago, in the year 1011. But after next week, it will never happen again. What is it?
