A Implementation Dependent Behaviour

The following aspects of the ECMAScript 2022 Internationalization API Specification are implementation dependent:

  • In Locale:
    • Support for the Unicode extensions keys "kf", "kn" and the parallel options properties "caseFirst", "numeric" (1.2.3)
    • The set of preferred calendars (1.1.2), collations (1.1.3), hour cycles (1.1.4), numbering systems (1.1.5), and time zones (1.1.6) per locale
    • The default general ordering of characters (characterOrder) within a line per locale (1.1.7)
    • The 'first' day of a week, the minimal days required in the first week of a month or year, and which days of the week are considered as part of the 'weekend', for calendar purposes, per locale (1.1.9)
