The possible values are:
{228484, 332929, 776161}


---------
def isSquare(n):
    """ Input an integer, Returns True iff it is a perfect square. """
    if round(n**0.5)**2 == n:
        return True
    else:
        return False

for a in range(1,10):
    for b in range(10):
        for c in range(10):
            x = a * 110000 + b * 1010 + c * 101
            if isSquare(x):
                print(x, (x**.5))

Output:
228484 478.0
332929 577.0
776161 881.0

It turns out, for this pattern, the only solutions have A, B, and C distinct
