18621911

18621911 is the concatenation of two calendar years, 1862 and 1911. In most historical and biographical contexts, this range is normally written with a dash as 1862–1911 to indicate a lifespan or a date span. The unpunctuated form can appear in data fields, catalog records, or digital archives where punctuation is restricted or omitted, and in such cases it relies on surrounding context for proper interpretation.

As a notational form, 18621911 signals that a person or entity is associated with those years. When used to describe a person, it would typically imply birth in 1862 and death in 1911. Without additional information, the exact identity, nationality, and significance of the subject remain unspecified, because many individuals across different regions could share those life years. Similarly, the string may appear to mark the duration of an event, a project, or an era spanning from 1862 to 1911, depending on the source.

In practice, encounters with 18621911 invite verification through accompanying data such as names, places, or contextual notes. Standard bibliographic and archival conventions prefer explicit notation (for example, 1862–1911 or born 1862, died 1911) to avoid ambiguity. Thus, 18621911 functions primarily as a shorthand or shorthand-key in records, requiring context to resolve its specific reference.
