As far as I know, the year "90" can be one of the below in Japanese
language. The 5th one is too formal in most cases (used on checks or legal
documents ?)
1. U+0039 U+0030 U+5E74
2. U+FF19 U+FF10 U+5E74
3. U+4E5D U+3007 U+5E74
4. U+4E5D U+5341 U+5E74
5. U+4E5D U+62FE U+5E74
I have never seen the below, so it may not be used (not sure, though).
6. U+4E5D U+96F6 U+5E74
P.S. Japan uses Gregorian and Imperial calendars (and Lunar calendar
in some cases), but that's a separate issue
