月 and 日 are always displayed in ja-JP.

[Hackgets]

When the locale is set to ja-JP, is it possible to not display "月" and "日" for month and day?

same issue with zh-HK

I'm curious if D and M shouldn't return numeric only, while the longer strings should return characters.

What is the format that you want?

I wanted the Korean characters for everything (including the weekday EEEE and period aaa), so I needed to set the locale to ko-KR. There is no other way to achieve this with en-US.

If you don't want any Japanese characters, then you can achieve most formats with en_US

Locale: ko-KR
Format: ( EEEE )  MMM dd   hh : mm  aaa 
Output: ( 일요일 )  10월 01일   06 : 40  오후

Locale: en-US
Format: ( EEEE )  M월  dd일   hh : mm  aaa 
Output: ( Sunday )  10월 01일   06 : 40  PM

If the language is set to English, the days of the week are also set to English. For me that is not intuitive. D and M preferably return only numbers.

I see what you mean. You want the weekday, like Sunday, to be displayed in Japanese, but the month and day to be pure numeric.

I see that the hour, minute, and second do not add the locale-specific affixed characters at all, and the month and day always add the locale-specific affixed characters.

I'm not sure if the formats are working as intended or not; online documentation for non-en-US locale is hard to come by. But it would be nice to get pure numeric values for non-en-US locales.

It seems like being able to change the dateStyle and timeStyle within the GUI would allow for appending or removing the locale-specific character affixes.

I'm not fully sure if this will work within this extension, but it works in the below link if you change the locale, dateStyle, and timeStyle values.

using the link you provided I'm able to get the numeric dates with local weekdays

The following returns: 1/10/2023（週日）

const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2023, 9, 01));

console.log(
  new Intl.DateTimeFormat('zh-HK', 
                          { year: "numeric",  
                           weekday: "short", 
                           month: "numeric",
               day: "numeric",}).
  format(date),
);

I'm on Gnome Shell v42 so unfortunately it looks like I'm unable to test anything higher than v10.
