if examine list of time zone abbreviations , corresponding offsets, such the list on wikipedia or the list on timeanddate.com, may able find idt
abbreviation israel daylight time, , equal utc+3. however, upon further examination you'll find there many abbreviations ambiguous. example:
cst
of:- central standard time (utc-6)
- china standard time (utc+8)
- cuba standard time (utc-5)
bst
of:- british summer time (utc+1)
- bangladesh standard time (utc+6)
- bougainville standard time (utc+11)
... , many others.
you'll find 2 lists mentioned not identical. that's because in general, time zone abbreviations convention, not standard.
therefore, if have abbreviation, , want cover time zones of world, cannot uniquely identify time zone.
that said, if can limit list set of predefined, non-conflicting abbreviations, work out mapping table on own. alternatively, if have additional information such country, can use information disambiguate.
