In C# we have the following DateTime.Kind:
Local
Utc
Unspecified
In Javascript, I have only seen Local and UTC. Is there an Unspecified one? If not, is it possible to recreate it?

Recreate it how? What operation are you trying to perform? Unspecified isn't really "a thing" like Local and Utc are, it just affects conversions in the sense of "if kind is unspecified, and I'm performing conversion X, assume the time is the other one" so when you perform a "to local" on an unspecified, it assumes "developer implies time is utc, add offset" – Caius Jard Apr 29 '21 at 05:07

@KeithNicholas—more accurate to say "…convert to local based on system settings or IANA representative location with [*toLocaleString*](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString) or [*Intl.DateTimeFormat*](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat/DateTimeFormat) and the *timezone* option". – RobG Apr 29 '21 at 06:07
