And if so, how do they label headphones, contact lenses etc?

    the same way we know that ‘T’ is for ‘Tuesday’ and ‘Th’ is for ‘Thursday.’

    As a non native speaker I have to admit I actually didn’t know that.
    But in German you also use two letters for all the weekdays.
    Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So.

    But it is a popular riddle for children to ask M, D, M, D, what comes next?

      I’ve seen systems in university use T for Tuesday and R for Thursday but they needed to print to paper with a single character wide column for day

      Still, most people understand if I use MTWRF
