Ambigram meaning explained
In short, an ambigram is something (a word, a date, a design, etc.) that can be viewed from different perspectives, but still hold meaning. Sometimes, an ambigram can retain the same meaning from any angle, but other times, it can hold two or more clear meanings.
Today’s date, 22/02/22, is an ambigram because it can be read from any direction or angle – including upside down – and still read 22/02/22.
An ambigram is not the same as a palindrome, which is something that can be read the same backward and forwards. The date 22/02/22 is, however, both an ambigram and palindrome.
The number 2 is, of course, an ambigram number alongside 0, 1, and 8.

Other ambigram numbers and words
Today’s date is pretty rare, but there are also a handful of other quite common ambigrams that you might not have thought about.
For example, the word ‘SOS’ is an ambigram because it can be read left to right, right to left, and upside down, while retaining meaning.
Another example, this time looking at dates, is the date 20/02/2002.
Last year, we saw the date 12/02/2021, which was also an ambigram.
Why is an ambigram date significant?
Many believe, in connection with spirituality, that palindrome and ambigram dates bring luck.
With that being said, an ambigram date especially is an incredibly rare phenomenon.
After 22/02/22, the next ambigram date won’t happen until 08/02/2080, and then again on 18/02/2081.
Prior, we saw ambigram dates in 2002 (20/02/2002) and 2010 (01/02/2010).
