I’m in favor of thinking outside the box. Since we’re no longer confined to integers, I assume we’re not confined to base ten either. Hexadecimal notation allows us to spell words;

0x DEADBEEF

is the hexadecimal representation of 3735928559.

In other languages than English, too;

0x CAFEAFFE

is café ape in German, or 3405688830 in base ten.

Gad, I’m nerdy. 😆

Or 2002, if you use digital-clock numbers.

@ponderable -- Yes, a quick try on an envelope confirms that 2002 in digital-clock digits is rotationally symmetrical.
