<h4>Date format pattern "V"</h4>
|
||||
<p>The date format pattern "V" was introduced in ICU 3.8 (inherited from CLDR 1.5) as
|
||||
a variation of pattern "z" to support time zone abbreviation format such as "PST".
|
||||
The pattern "z" prints out a time zone abbreviation only when it is commonly used for a locale.
|
||||
The pattern "V" was slightly different from pattern "z" and the pattern designates
|
||||
a time zone abbreviation even it is not commonly used for a locale. For example, time
|
||||
zone abbreviation "AEST" for Australian Eastern Standard Time might not be well recognized
|
||||
by people in the United States. For the zone, pattern "z" does not use "AEST" (instead, use
|
||||
UTC offset format "GMT+10:00, as the fallback) , while pattern "V" used to print out "AEST".
|
||||
In CLDR 21, the data used for checking commonly used or not was completely removed (CLDR
|
||||
ticket <a href="http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/4052">#4052</a>), so the difference
|
||||
between pattern "z" and "V" is no longer available since ICU 49 (based on CLDR 21 specification).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In CLDR 23, the CLDR technical committee decided to reuse the semantically deprecated
|
||||
pattern "V" for a different purpose. With the new specification, the date format pattern
|
||||
"V" is used for short time zone IDs, such as "uslax" for zone America/Los_Angeles. ICU 51
|
||||
implements the new specification. So existing ICU users currently using custom date format
|
||||
patterns with pattern "V" are suggested to change them to pattern "z".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that the existing pattern "VVVV" for a time zone's generic location name is not
|
||||
affected by the new specification and the pattern "VVVV" continues to work as same as
|
||||
previous ICU releases.</p>
