What about the day headings in calendars? This web site
<https://www.moph.gov.qa/arabic/mediacenter/Events/Pages/default.aspx>
seems to use abbreviations there.

I was going to ask about the cal tool from util-linux, but I'm not
sure if it works correctly today.

Are you sure? The link you provided uses full month names in Arabic, but the English version of the same page appears to use abbreviations.

I'm referring to the calendar selection widget above the events
(fourth row, white boxes, surrounded by grey).

Apologies, thanks for the correction.

According to CLDR v46, the values you're referring to are not considered
abbreviations, but "narrow" values. These are used when there is a need
to save space, such as in situations where the available width is
limited. In the case of the calendar box you provided, these narrow
values can not represent anything but weekdays, as they are typically
understood in that context. For instance, "Wed" would not appear before
"Fri," making it clear that these values are meant to represent days of
the week. The key difference between a calendar box and other contexts
is that calendars typically have predefined values for all weekdays and
months. However, when these values are used in isolation, they may not
be easily understood by many users. 

Note that narrow values are not intended to replace abbreviations. While
narrow values are useful in specific contexts where space is constrained,
abbreviations can be used more broadly in a variety of situations where
there is more room for text.

We don't have separate narrow and abbreviated values.  Are there many
direct uses of ABDAY?  I would expect most uses are indirect through
localized strftime format strings, and those could easyily use %A
instead of %a.  Locales already do this:

ar_IN:d_t_fmt     "%A %d %B %Y %I:%M:%S %p"
ar_IN:date_fmt    "%A %d %B %Y %I:%M:%S %p %Z"
ar_SA:d_t_fmt	"%A %e %B %Y %k:%M:%S"
ar_SA:date_fmt	"%A %e %B %Y %Z %k:%M:%S"
ar_SA:d_fmt	"%A %e %B %Y"

It produces this:

$ LC_ALL=ar_EG.UTF-8 cal 
     نوفمبر 2024    
 س  ح  ن  ث  ر  خ  ج
    1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31 32 33 34
35

And it seems to use ABDAY:

static void weekdays_init(struct cal_control *ctl)
{
	size_t wd;
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < DAYS_IN_WEEK; i++) {
		wd = (i + ctl->weekstart) % DAYS_IN_WEEK;
		ctl->weekdays[i] = nl_langinfo(ABDAY_1 + wd);
	}
}

If “abday” is made the same as “day” in the ar_* locales, it will be too
long for the column headers in this calendar output.

Any ideas why it shows 35 days for the month?  And is day 1 in the
right column?

No. 

> And is day 1 in the right column?

Apparently not. For fa_IR it is also weird:


$ LC_ALL=fa_IR.UTF-8 cal
     نوامبر 2024    
شن یک دو سه‌ چه پن جم
    1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31 32 33 34
35

fa_IR has “abday” the same as “day”, i.e. long forms. The cal tool cuts
them off somewhere.

It seems quite a mess.
