Perhaps MS should make these icons configurable. Config files are as old as eternity, isn't it?
Or, has MS already made these icons configurable ?

Some f$€k3r has a useless job and needs to justify their paycheck.
Do they know we developers work mostly on muscle memory and instant pattern recognition? Mess that up and it's like cutting off our dominant hand. That's why we go to war with each other over code formatting after all.

If you wish to format a date in Power Apps, there is a nice set of format letters to provide custom output. So using the Text function I can write
Text(myDate, "mmm dd yy")
Or for time I can write
Text(myTime, "hhmm")
Or I can combine them into
Text(myDateTime, "hhmm mmm dd yy")
Why would anyone think to use the same lower case letters for two very distinct fields?
There is actually a work-around, make sure dd comes first in the date. Good luck 'mercans.

Because "mm" means minutes, and "mmm" means the three-letter short month name. If you want the two-digit month number, you use "MM".

I wouldn't necessarily assume that Power Apps use the same conventions .NET does.
I've used Power BI just a tiny bit, and I wouldn't assume anything based on any prior knowledge or...dare I say, common sense.

No, you use lower case "m" for both.

I thought 'mmm' meant Beer. At least it does when Homer does it.

I would make sure dd comes last. yyyy-mm-dd is my default format.

I tried to make a struct with two fields named mm and mmm respectively. The compiler accepted it without any warning. Confusing, isn't it? 
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

What if they need the minutes, then the three letter month, then the minutes again, then the two digit numeric month?
We won't ask why, but hypothetically speaking...

Not for the compiler.

History?
Following has 'd' and 'D'. And 'c' and 'C'.
Formatting Calendar Time (The GNU C Library)[^]
Then there is "C Programming Language 2 edition" copyright 1988 which uses 'm' for minute and 'M' for month. And others.

Is today 10/5 or 5/10?

It's both of course.

My father often modified proverbs, just for fun.
His favorite:
"... two birds at hand are worth one in the bush..."
Since I inherited similar life outlook, here is mine , as an outcome of recent discussions.
" you can instruct them to read the rules, then you have something
to brag about if they actually do"
Since I used "inheritance " I hope readers will not label this post as programming post.

I'm gonna be that guy, because I know it's gonna come up sooner rather than later anyway:

Don't look at it as me trying to put you down. Look at it as free advice. I'm doing you a favor. Whether you want to see it that way or not.
