18751946

18751946 is a compact numeric string that commonly represents a year range, most often written with a dash as 1875–1946 to indicate the lifespan of an individual or the span of a historical period.

In biographies, the format birth year–death year provides a quick reference to a person's dates. The string 18751946 can appear in databases, catalogs, or citations where punctuation is omitted; in prose it is more readable as 1875–1946.

Interpreting such a range depends on context: as a lifetime, it denotes someone born in 1875 and who died in 1946; as a historical period, it marks years from 1875 to 1946, useful for framing events, movements, or demographic trends.

Notational conventions vary: the en dash is standard in many places, while hyphens or full-width characters may appear in data entries. Parentheses, brackets, or prefixes like "c." (circa) can alter interpretation.

In modern data systems, birth and death are often stored as separate fields to avoid ambiguity; if a single string like 18751946 is used, automated parsing must rely on context or explicit metadata.
