What palindromic prime number of n digits reads the same upside down or when viewed in a mirror?

Some examples for n=2 or 3:
11, 101, 181.

How far can you go?

Rem: Only digits 0,l and 8 qualify.

finds 36,499 odd-length such primes up through length 25. The only even-length palindromic prime is 11, as all even-length palindromes are divisible by 11. So, adding in that one prime, makes 36,500 such primes through length 25.

The program uses a probabilistic prime test that makes it astronomically unlikely that a composite will be declared prime.

The list was created in lexicographic order and then the file was sorted into numeric order. I'll try to get up through the 17-digit ones to list here:
