Neo-Nazis also employ various number symbols:
18, code for Adolf Hitler. The number comes from the position of the letters in the alphabet: A = 1, H = 8.[11]
88, code for “Heil Hitler”, a phrase used in the Nazi salute.[12] Also used as a reference to the “88 Precepts”, a manifesto written by white supremacist David Lane.
14, from the Fourteen Words coined by David Lane: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”[13]
14 and 88 are sometimes combined with each other (i.e. 14/88, 8814, 1488).[14] They are also sometimes depicted on dice.[15]
88? What a coincidence

It’s also amateur radio slang. Not everything is about Neo-Nazis.
But to another commenter - Russian Neo-Nazis use 1488 too.
oh shit i didn’t even spot it, was right in front of us
Yes because Putin a Russian speaking Russian planned out this for a few English speaking American Neo Nazi.
Just in case you were wondering the 8th letter of the Russian alphabet is Ж it make a kind of zh sound.
88 isn’t just an American thing. I’ll agree it’s unlikely, but it’s not because it’s only an American thing.
The number is banned on Austrian license plates due to its association with “Heil Hitler [and] where H comes in the alphabet”. In June 2023, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and the Italian government announced that the number 88 would be banned from use in Italian association football, as part of a joint initiative to combat antisemitism. This followed an incident in March of that year in which a Lazio supporter wore a club shirt bearing the name “Hitlerson” and the number 88, which led to the supporter receiving a lifetime ban from attending Lazio matches.
Zheil Zhitler!Жeil Жitler!
Yeah because the Russian propaganda machines aren’t very, very aware of and in communication or control of modern fascist movements.
