On my host it looks the same. |
| 28 |
It's based on the definitions in /usr/share/i18n/locales/*. |

If you are asking why just have a look on the files there and search for am_pm. |
| 31 |
Eg. for en_GB this is the decisive line: |
| 32 |
user@host /usr/share/i18n/locales $ grep am_pm en_GB |
| 33 |
am_pm "";"" |
| 34 |
which means: write nothing. And for POSIX: |
| 35 |
user@host /usr/share/i18n/locales $ grep am_pm POSIX |
| 36 |
am_pm "<U0041><U004D>";"<U0050><U004D>" |
| 37 |
which represents "AM;PM" in Unicode. |

Hm, it's up to you which locales matches your needs. Maybe a more portable(in sense of locales) timestamp format in your scripts could also be a way. |
