DateTim...Hans_MY(3) — the locale data page, but make it cute 💖

hey bestie welcome to the manual page tagged DateTim...Hans_MY(3). The header also says User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the actual module is DateTime::Locale::zh_Hans_MY.

📅 Date Formats — date-only glow-up 📅

These examples take the same three timestamps and show them as date-only output. Look at those timestamps doing their thing. 💅

Full — the whole entire date, no crumbs 🍓

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10/9/15

⏰ Time Formats — clock check, bestie ⏰

Same three timestamps, now in time-only form. Time is literally a construct, but these examples are exact. 🌈

Label check: ms (mm:ss) — no example rows are listed under this one in the source snippet, just the label itself. 💅

So the last pattern from part one wraps up with these three lines — same three timestamps, same drill:

Just the year, with 年 riding along for the vibe ✨ (and yes, negative years are a whole thing, look at that -10年).

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008年2月5日
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995年12月22日
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10年9月15日

🌸 yMd (y/M/d)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008/2/5
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995/12/22

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995年第4季度
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10年第3季度

Quarter of the year, giving very "Q1 planning era" vibes 📅

🌸 yQQQQ (y年第Q季度)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008年第1季度
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995年第4季度

Again, the long form and the short form match. Iconic of them, honestly.

🌸 yw-count-other (Y年第w周)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008年第6周
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995年第51周

Week-of-year — and note the pattern is spelled with a capital Y in the label and w for the week number, so copy it exactly if you're typing it out, iykyk 🧚

✨ Miscellaneous ✨

The little extras that make this locale feel like itself 🫶

Prefers 24 hour time?

No

Local first day of the week

1 (星期一)

So: no 24-hour preference on this one, and the week starts on 1, which is 星期一 — Monday for the uninitiated 💫

🌈 Strftime Patterns 🌈

These are the classic strftime slots, translated into this locale. Same three timestamps every time, so you can eyeball exactly what each one does 👀

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

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 周二 2月  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 周五 12月 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 周六 9月 15 04:44:23 -10

The kitchen-sink one — weekday, month, day, time, year, all of it 🌸 (and yes, that double space in 2月 5 is really in there, don't come for me)

⭐ %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

Two-digit year, month first, slashes everywhere — that's the short date 💅

⭐ %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

Just the clock, no chaos. Lowkey the most peaceful pattern on this whole page 🕰️
