Research direction
Investigate how dayPeriods are currently handled in the Globalize date formatter, particularly for the 'a' pattern. Look at the CLDR JSON data for dayPeriods (likely in the supplemental or main data). Identify where short (a..aaa) and narrow (aaaaa) forms are missing. Extend the existing implementation to cover these forms, likely by adding entries to the dayPeriods mapping. No existing linked PRs or comments provide further guidance.
