when Locale=chinese Simplified Advanced clock format=mm/dd/ddd\nHH:nn:ss I got e.g. 11/17/周六 16:35:17

the week in text in chinese keeps showing me : 周一/周二/周三/周四/周五/周六/周日 but...why the "周" symbol is necessary here? I know windows default has this symbol too. I would like to ask a help is there any way to remove this symbol? many thanks! if possible, it could be a better view for two lines of string almost have same length like below: expected: 11/17/六 16:35:17

while you're the first to report this, I did "know" that the day glyph can be optional... (might even be preferred) Though it also makes sense to have it there as it's correct to say "day sun" (周日) to refer to English "Sunday".

Now regarding the request... there's a reason why Windows also shows this, because T-Clock simply uses the locale that Windows provides. So you'd have to find a way to get Windows to stop doing that... I could filter that one glyph out... but I'm not sure how much use that would have because Windows (which is hugely used in China... they're all about products from Microsoft... sadly) isn't doing that in first place.

I guess you're Chinese and at least you consider that glyph useless?

P.S. may I ask you if you could put the "Enhancement" label on this issue? I can't since Github broke Firefox / Waterfox support... (though I'm not sure if you are allowed to place labels :P)

  1. Yes, I think so as I am a Chinese. With only one glyph from "一二三四五六日" is still distinguishable and no misunderstanding.
  2. I tried to add labels but seems I can't due to I'm not a contributor of this project. I checked in both firefox and chrome, still no square select box shows up on my page. =,=sorry!
  3. Thank you for your answering back!

Hi, I have different opinions with @xibaer. When displaying the date on the taskbar of win10, the Chinese character "周" should be retained, at least there can be options to keep. For example, my date is shown as " 16:35:17 11月17日 周六". If it is displayed as " 16:35:17 11月17日 六", this is not in line with the Chinese people's idioms. However, in the T-Clock calendar, the Chinese character "周" must be removed, because there is no such character on the Chinese calendar. The picture below is a comparison of the Win10 calendar and the T-Clock calendar. The Win10 calendar follows the Chinese people's habits. d
