# Date as DD/MM/YYYY (`date_dmy_slash`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Calendar date written as day, month and four-digit year separated by slashes, for example 25/12/2024, as in the United Kingdom and France. The United States writes the month first in the same shape (date_mdy_slash), so a value whose first two numbers are both 12 or less, such as 05/06/2024, can be read either way.
