Description
Describe the feature you would like to see added
Right now, dates typed in a calendar's input box seem to be interpreted as local times. However, this is not always what's desirable. In my case, I would like to be able to type a UTC date and have it be interpreted as a UTC date, rather than local time.

Research direction
Start at the Calendar component's input parsing path, focusing on how dates typed into the calendar input are interpreted relative to local time. Determine how UTC input should be represented and verified; done means a typed UTC date is interpreted as UTC rather than local time, with corresponding Calendar coverage.
