--- Comment #1 from Mike FABIAN <maiku.fabian at gmail dot com> ---
They are not capitalized in CLDR either:

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/main/it.xml#L1848
        <dayWidth type=3D"wide">
                <day type=3D"sun">domenica</day>
                <day type=3D"mon">luned=C3=AC</day>
                <day type=3D"tue">marted=C3=AC</day>
                <day type=3D"wed">mercoled=C3=AC</day>
                <day type=3D"thu">gioved=C3=AC</day>
                <day type=3D"fri">venerd=C3=AC</day>
                <day type=3D"sat">sabato</day>
        </dayWidth>

As far as I know, the capitalization of these words in Italian depends on
whether they appear at the beginning of a sentence or not.

    Gennaio =C3=A8 il primo mese dell'anno.
    Oggi =C3=A8 luned=C3=AC.
    L'italiano =C3=A8 una lingua bellissima.

So if they are usually not capitalized but only at the beginning of sentenc=
es,
then maybe the application using this data should
do the capitalization?

For example, maybe `cal` should capitalize here because these names appear =
"at
the beginning"?:

$ LC_ALL=3Dit_IT.UTF-8 cal=20
    novembre 2023=20=20=20
lu ma me gi ve sa do
       1  2  3  4  5
 6  7  8  9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30

On the other hand, maybe almost all uses of this data in glibc are not with=
in a
sentence, so maybe capitalizing always is OK?


> This bug is not present in other locales, as far as I know.

Currently many locales don=E2=80=99t have these capitalized:

glibc/localedata/locales (master $)
$ grep day  fr_FR es_ES
fr_FR:abday   "dim.";"lun.";"mar.";"mer.";"jeu.";"ven.";"sam."
fr_FR:day     "dimanche";/
fr_FR:first_weekday 2
es_ES:abday   "dom";"lun";/
es_ES:day     "domingo";/
es_ES:first_weekday   2
