How about:
column only - 67x
line only - 234y
line & column - 67x234y
Advantages:
. Few characters (no wasted space).
. It's clear which is horizontal and which is vertical.
. x and y are much more universal than L for "line"
and C for "column". No need to translate.
. Lowercase makes the units stand out from the digits.
The descender on the `y' makes it easy to spot and
disambiguate. (compared with L,C - and l,c suffers
from confusing l with 1)
Disadvantages of other proposals:
. (34,67) and 34:67 are not clear about which is
horizontal and which is vertical.
. :67 and 234: take longer to parse, to figure out
which is horizontal (vs 67x and 234y).
. Using (234,67) for both horizontal and vertical, but 234L
and 67C for one only is more complex, less consistent.
