19011983

19011983 is a numeric string that most often serves as a calendar date encoded without separators. When read in day-month-year order, it corresponds to 19 January 1983. In regions that use this convention, it may appear as 19/01/1983 or 19-01-1983, and in ISO 8601 it is represented as 1983-01-19.

The format is commonly used in archival records, file naming, and database keys where compactness and sortable order are desirable. Using an eight-digit date key can make chronological sorting straightforward, provided that all records follow the same convention. Because different contexts may apply different date interpretations, explicit context or separators are often preferred in human-readable text to avoid ambiguity.

Beyond plain dating, the sequence 19011983 can appear as part of a larger identifier such as a batch number, product code, or catalog reference, where the digits encode the date of manufacture, entry, or release. In these applications, additional characters are frequently appended to distinguish the date element from other coding schemes and to preserve clarity.

Geographic and institutional practices influence how such date strings are used and interpreted. As with any compact date encoding, consistency within a system is essential to maintain accuracy in records, indexing, and retrieval.
