This is not garbage by any measure. Please compare with what the OP reported. In any case, the original report was for Thursday, not Friday. the former should AFAIU display 四. But neither is nowhere close to the sequence the OP reported, not even if I break the correct character into individual bytes, so some other factor is at work here. > So at least for me itʼs working correctly (in both *scratch* and an > Org-mode buffer), which means thereʼs something wrong in the > reporter's configuration somewhere. What, if anything, is wrong with the OP's configuration is exactly the issue here. There's no question that current-time and format-time-string work in general.
