Bestie. Observe. yQQQ and yQQQQ are giving exactly the same output here. Not a typo on my end, not a typo on yours — that's just how it is in this locale. 💅

🎀 Miscellaneous 🎀

Okay so these two lil facts are the vibe check of the whole locale, and honestly they're iconic:

• Prefers 24 hour time? — No 🕐 (so like, it's giving 12-hour energy, bestie)
• Local first day of the week — 1 (ꗳꗡꘉ) 🗓️

Ngl, that first-day-of-the-week value is doing the absolute most — it's a number plus a name in Vai script, and you're just gonna have to trust it. No cap. 🫶

✨ Strftime Patterns ✨

These are the classic strftime-style shortcuts, the OGs, the ones your grandma's C code knows by heart. Each one expands to a specific pattern, and each one gets three whole example timestamps. Let's go. 🏃‍♀️

%c (%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y) — date time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ꕚꕞꕚ ꕒꕡ  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = ꕉꔤꕀꕮ ꖨꖕꗏ 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = ꔻꔬꔳ ꕢꕌ 15 04:44:23 -10

Not me zooming in to check that double space after ꕒꕡ in the first line — yes, it's really there, that's %e doing its space-padded day thing. Reproduce it exactly, bestie, or your tests will come for you. 😭

%x (%m/%d/%y) — date format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

%X (%H:%M:%S) — time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23

Lowkey obsessed with how %x renders year -10 as 10 and year 1995 as 95 — two-digit years really said "context is for the weak". 😌 That's the pattern, that's the behaviour, don't shoot the messenger. 🍓

• See DateTime::Locale.

Like, that's it. That's the support section. Go read DateTime::Locale, it's literally the main character here and this page is just its backup dancer. 💖
