Signature
getUTCOffset(): $UTCOffsetReturn Type
$UTCOffset — Offset string in the format ±HH:mm (e.g., +05:30, -06:00)
Description
Returns the system’s current UTC offset in string format.
Note
Unlike JavaScript's Date.prototype.getTimezoneOffset() which returns the offset in minutes behind UTC (positive for locations west of UTC), this method returns a human-readable offset using time zone sign conventions (e.g., +06:00 means 6 hours ahead of UTC).
