What does FJT stand for?
FJT is Fiji Time, +12:00, used in Oceania. The IANA zone to use in code is Pacific/Fiji.
What time is it in FJT right now?
Fiji Time: 12:15 on Thursday (UTC+12:00).
Which IANA timezone should I use instead of FJT?
Pacific/Fiji for Fiji Time. Date libraries cannot resolve bare abbreviations, and an abbreviation carries no daylight-saving history, so a stored offset silently rots when a government changes the rules.
Why does my computer show UTC+12:00 instead of FJT?
Because Pacific/Fiji is currently on UTC+12:00 (UTC+12:00), its daylight-saving variant. FJT (+12:00) applies during the other half of the year. Both names refer to the same place, one hour apart.
