01152023

01152023 is an eight-digit numeric string commonly used to encode a calendar date in the MMDDYYYY format. When interpreted this way, it represents January 15, 2023.

In computing and data management, such compact date stamps appear in filenames, logs, inventory identifiers, and other records where the use of separators (slashes, dashes, or spaces) is impractical. The lack of delimiters means the same eight digits could be read differently in other locales or systems that use a different date convention, so it is important to know the intended format. For 01152023, the first two digits form the month (01), the next two form the day (15), and the last four form the year (2023), making the MMDDYYYY interpretation unambiguous within that convention.

Converting this to the ISO 8601 standard yields 2023-01-15. In contexts where dates are stored as strings or integers without explicit format metadata, misinterpretation can occur if the reader assumes a different convention. Therefore, when using 01152023 in data interchange, it is common to include accompanying format information or to adopt clearer standards such as YYYY-MM-DD.
