It's called a palindrome; however the numeric version is strictly referred to as a palindromic number (the word 'palindrome' really only refers to words & sentences).
Classic palidromes are "Madam, I'm Adam", "Rise to vote, sir" and "A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!".
One highly extended palindrome began simply as "Dennis and Edna sinned" and has since been extended to a length measured in hundreds of letters. As a 'cheat', you can even write the same palindromic sentence down twice - separated by "sides reversed is" which is, in itself, a palindrome.

I think you would call a word a 'palindrome', but a number would be a 'palindromic number'. These numbers figure large in 'recreational mathematics', which is a branch of maths that looks at interesting mathematical problems but using fairly basic mathematical knowledge.

Yes it's a palindrome, rumour has it that the first ever was Madam i'm Adam in the garden of Eden. Probably not true but it's a nice story.

it is a palindrome. e.g. hannah is the same when reversed, so is the letter "121".
