# veryShortWeekdaySymbols

A list of very-shortly-named weekdays in this calendar, localized to the Calendar’s locale.

## Declaration

```swift
var veryShortWeekdaySymbols: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, for English in the Gregorian calendar, returns ["S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S"]. 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.
