    Ex: 03.12.2014 for December 3rd 2014
Formatting a date in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("uk", "UA");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy", locale);
sdf.format(new Date());
Formatting a date in C#:
CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("uk-UA");
DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy", ci);
Formatting a date in JavaScript:
let date = new Date();
date.toLocaleDateString('uk-UA');
Formatting a date in PHP:
date("d.m.Y");

What is the time format in Ukraine?

The time format in Ukraine is 24-hour notation in most cases.

  • Format: HH:mm[:ss]
    Ex: 09:00 for 09:00AM, and 21:00 for 09:00PM
Formatting time in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("uk", "UA");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss", locale);
sdf.format(new Date());
Formatting time in C#:
CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("uk-UA");
DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss", ci);
Formatting time in JavaScript:
let time = new Date();
date.toLocaleTimeString('uk-UA', {hour12: false});
Formatting time in PHP:
date("H:i:s");

What is the numeric format in Ukraine?

  • Format: 999 999 999,99
    • Group Size: 3
    • Grouping Character: space
    • Decimal Character: , (comma)
Formatting numbers in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("uk", "UA");
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);
numberFormat.format(999999999.99d);
Formatting numbers in C#:
double d = 999999999.99d;
d.ToString("n", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("uk-UA")));
Formatting numbers in JavaScript:
let number = 999999999.99;
number.toLocaleString('uk-UA');
Formatting numbers in PHP:
$fmt = new NumberFormatter($locale = 'uk_UA', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
$fmt->format(999999999.99);

What is the currency format in Ukraine?

    • Decimal Character: , (comma)
    • Currency Symbol: ₴
    • Currency Symbol Position: After number
    • Currency Name: Hryvnia (UAH)
Formatting currency in Java:
Locale locale = new Locale("uk", "UA");
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
numberFormat.format(999999999.99d);
Formatting currency in C#:
double d = 999999999.99d;
d.ToString("c", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("uk-UA")));
Formatting currency in JavaScript:
let number = 999999999.99;
number.toLocaleString('uk-UA', {currency: 'UAH', style: 'currency'});
Formatting currency in PHP:
$fmt = new NumberFormatter($locale = 'uk_UA', NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
$fmt->format(999999999.99);
