The general form of
a Taiwanese date is
yyyymmdd:
is an integer that
represents the year.
is an integer from
01 through 12 that represents the month.
is an integer from
01 through 31 that represents the day of the month.
The Taiwanese calendar
uses 1912 as the base year (01/01/01 is January 1, 1912). Dates before
1912 are not valid. Year values do not roll over after 100 years;
instead, they continue to increase.
You can separate the
year, month, and day values with any delimiters, such as blanks, slashes,
or dashes, that are permitted by the YYMMDD
w. informat. If delimiters are used, place them between all the values.
If you omit delimiters, be sure to use a leading zero for days or
months that have a value less than 10.
