# amSymbol

The symbol used to represent “AM”, localized to the Calendar’s locale.

## Declaration

```swift
var amSymbol: String { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, for English in the Gregorian calendar, returns "AM". note: By default, Calendars have no locale set. If you wish to receive a localized answer, be sure to set the locale property first - most likely to Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.
