=== Dates === A day or timestamp is a palindrome when its digits are the same when reversed. Only the digits are considered in this determination and the component separators (hyphens, slashes, and dots) are ignored. Short digits may be used as in ''[[11/11/11]] 11:11'' or long digits as in ''2 February 2020''. A notable palindrome day is this century's 2 February 2020 because this date is a palindrome regardless of the [[date format by country]] (yyyy-mm-dd, dd-mm-yyyy, or mm-dd-yyyy) used in various countries. For this reason, this date has also been termed as a "Universal Palindrome Day".<ref>{{cite web |display-authors= 0 |first= Susam |last= Pal |url= https://susam.in/blog/universal-palindrome-day/ |title= Universal Palindrome Day |date= 2 February 2020 |access-date= 3 February 2020 |archive-date= 6 August 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200806042809/https://susam.in/blog/universal-palindrome-day/ |url-status= dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51349158 |title= #PalindromeDay: Geeks around the world celebrate 02/02/2020 |publisher= BBC |date= 2 February 2020 |access-date= 2 February 2020 |archive-date= 2 February 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200202183440/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51349158 |url-status= live }}</ref> Other universal palindrome days include, almost a millennium previously, ''11/11/1111'', the future ''12/12/2121'', and in a millennium ''03/03/3030''.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.npr.org/2020/02/02/802015917/why-a-day-like-sunday-hasnt-been-seen-in-900-years |title= Why A Day Like Sunday Hasn't Been Seen In 900 Years |publisher= NPR |date= 2 February 2020 |first= Amy |last= Held |access-date= 3 February 2020 |archive-date= 3 February 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200203154420/https://www.npr.org/2020/02/02/802015917/why-a-day-like-sunday-hasnt-been-seen-in-900-years |url-status= live }}</ref>
