In 2021 there was a website thehtime.com. It had the best concept for dealing with timezones. https://web.archive.org/web/20211022024626/https://thehtime.com/

  It shouldn’t have used both L and I though, and probably also have dropped O, in favor of adding X and Y.

    Using continious letters for addititives values is a good idea (F+3) can be predicted easily. Yet i agree that confusing « symbols » should be avoided. Forcing UPPERCASE formeront plus using a prefix (Z might be a good one) ZA:03 ZB:23 ZL:55 ZI:12 ZO:08 would work greatly for me

      Z can look like 2 in sloppy handwriting.

  And if your language doesn’t use the Latin alphabet? I like the concept of a global time that maps to local time, and while I am unconvinced that Latin letters are the best way to do that, I can’t think of a better way. It’s either letters of some sort, symbols, or names, and none of those sound good.
