How would one write a range of dates in vertical format? For instance, 2017-18 or 2017-2018.

  • @naruto Not necessarily, but [one of the answers](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/17450/25446) addresses how to write dates. – keithmaxx Oct 26 '17 at 08:54

There are several ways to write it (See this post for detail), but I personally usually write like...

  • 5
  • 95
  • 199

  • どうもありがとうございます I am also curious about if the year range was printed in a Japanese magazine, would they use this same format with kanji numbers for vertical format. Would there be the same sort of separation for [ ~ ]? – Rowan Elise Oct 30 '17 at 18:25

I've tried looking for the proper way of writing date ranges vertically in Japanese but haven't found any specific ones, but if you're going to express just the year then you could write:

7
年

2
月
3
0
日
|
2
0
1
8
年

5
日

See here (in Japanese).
