20240612 is a numeric date in the YYYYMMDD format used to denote June 12, 2024 in the Gregorian calendar. In ISO 8601 terms, the components are year 2024, month 06, day 12. 2024 is a leap year, so February has 29 days, making June 12 the 164th day of the year. The day of the week for 2024-06-12 is Wednesday.

The compact form 20240612 is advantageous in data contexts because it sorts chronologically when listed in ascending order, and it avoids separators that can complicate parsing in software, databases, and file naming. However, when used without a defined time zone, the date alone does not convey a specific moment in time.

In other notations, the same date appears as 2024-06-12 in the hyphenated ISO format or as 12 June 2024 in many human-facing contexts, depending on locale. The fixed-length eight-digit representation is common in file systems, versioning schemes, and data interchange formats because it remains unambiguous within a given calendar system.

When combined with time information, it can form timestamps such as 20240612T000000Z to indicate midnight UTC on that date, illustrating how the date serves as a base component for temporal data. Overall, 20240612 functions as a clear, locale-agnostic marker for the specific calendar day.
