How?

Counts all pairs without the \$a\leq b\$ restriction, halves and rounds up. Note that the halved count is only a fraction if \$\frac n 2\$ is a palindrome and in such cases we want to count this \$a=b\$ pair.

ŻŒḂ€ḋṚ$HĊ - Link: integer, n    e.g. 22
Ż         - zero-range               [0,1,2,...,9,10,11,12,...,21,22]
   €      - for each:
 ŒḂ       -   is palindrome (digits) [1,1,1,...,1,0,1,0,...0,1]
      $   - last two links as a monad:
     Ṛ    -   reverse                [1,0,...,0,1,0,1,...,1,1,1]
    ḋ     -   dot-product           3  (=1×1+1×0+...+1×0+1×1+0×1+...+0×1+1×1)
       H  - halve                   1.5
        Ċ - ceil                    2
