Same Forward, Backward and Upside Down

What word is the same written forward, backward and upside down?

NOON. The word needs to be a palindrome and made up of only these letters that look the same upside down:H I N O S X ZFor instance, SOON doesn’t work, because even though each letter looks the same upside down, it reads NOOS.

The answer is NOON. (read the same backwards, as well as upside down)

SOS would work, its not offically an acronym, misconception (save our ship… ) it is the letters morse code (long short long) so it is a word as such.

SWIMS is the same if you flip it upside down as it is up the right way..
HANNAH is a palindrome (same backwards as forwards)
NOON forwards and backwards and (if capitals) upside down as well)
Havivah (read backwards)
minim (read backwards
SOS (upside down and backwards)

A prime example of a front to back Palindrome sentence is

“A man, a plan, a canal: Panama”

“Are we not drawn onward to new era?” another..

but it is very rare to find the upside down palindromes (unless they are designed like the ambigrams) but yes SWIMS and NOON is an upside down palindrome (recalling the word comes from the Greek palin (“again”) and dromos (“way, direction”) so upside down is included.

That’s cool, but it’s not the same backwards. 9.9.66 vs 66.9.9.
