26^2 = 676
If the number is one, then it is the smallest positive square.
The smallest integer is 11 but there is no smallest number! 0.11 is a smaller number and will give a perfect square. 0.0011 is smaller still, and 0.000011 even smaller. That sequence is endless!

26^2 = 676
That would be 26 . . . its square is 676.There are two smaller palindromic squares . . . 121 and 484 ... but they're the squares of11 and 22 respectively, which are palindromic, so they flunk the question's specifications.
11 is a palindrome.11 squared (i.e., 11 times 11) is 121, which is also a palindrome.
11 is a palindrome. 11 squared (i.e., 11 times 11) is 121, which is also a palindrome.

A palindromic number or numeral palindrome is a 'symmetrical' number like 16461, that remains the same when its digits are reversed. The term palindromic is derived from palindrome, which refers to a word like rotor that remains unchanged under reversal of its letters. The first palindromic numbers (in decimal) are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, 161, 171, 181, 191, … (sequence A002113 in OEIS). Palindromic numbers receive most attention in the realm of recreational mathematics. A typical problem asks for numbers that possess a certain property and are palindromic. For instance, * the palindromic primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, … (A002385) * the palindromic square numbers are 0, 1, 4, 9, 121, 484, 676, 10201, 12321, … (A002779).
If the number is one, then it is the smallest positive square.
