# veryShortWeekdaySymbols

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

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

## 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`.
