Good point, Pierre. It may be so also in Hungarian (not that anyone would
care about either) and of course meaningless in the much-in-focus today,
Greek. .
That's why the ISO format uses numbers only. ("Letters" in SI, and much of
ISO, are symbols, not letters.)
The preference among my clients over the years has been to use the ISO
option for "-" between the date numbers, ":" between the time numbers, and
a space (a tap on the space-bar) between the two. An example of the same
date at midnight:
2003-01-31 24:00 or
2003-02-01
00:00
In data processing, where D&T information must be stored as single data
field, the ISO standard recommends to insert the character âTâ between the
date & time. The character is then a symbol, of course. Example:
20030131T235959.
