@CalendarType(value="coptic")
public final class CopticCalendar
extends Calendrical<CopticCalendar.Unit,CopticCalendar>
implements LocalizedPatternSupport
```
Represents the calendar used by the Coptic church in Egypt.

It is a solar calendar which defines years consisting of 13 months. The first 12 months are always 30 days long. The last month has 5 or 6 days depending if a Coptic year is a leap year or not. The leap year rule is the same as defined in Julian Calendar, namely every fourth year. Years are counted since the era of martyrs where the Julian year AD 284 is counted as Coptic year 1. See also Wikipedia. According to the book "Calendrical calculations" of Dershowitz/Reingold, the Coptic day starts at sunset on the previous day. Time4J will also assume that despite of the fact that the ancient Egypt calendar (the historic ancestor of the Coptic calendar) started the day at sunrise. We assume here an adaptation of the Coptic calendar to the habits of Islamic calendar in Egypt.

Following elements which are declared as constants are registered by this class:
Furthermore, all elements defined in EpochDays and CommonElements are supported.

Example of usage:
```
     ChronoFormatter<CopticCalendar> formatter =
       ChronoFormatter.setUp(CopticCalendar.axis(), Locale.ENGLISH)
       .addPattern("EEE, d. MMMM yyyy", PatternType.NON_ISO_DATE).build();
     PlainDate today = SystemClock.inLocalView().today();
     CopticCalendar copticDate = today.transform(CopticCalendar.class); // conversion at noon
     System.out.println(formatter.format(copticDate));
 
```

    Description copied from class: Calendrical
    
    Based on the epoch day number and the calendar system.
    
    In other words: Two date object are equal if they have the same temporal position on the local timeline and have the same calendrical type. Subclasses which define further state attributes must override this method.
    
    If an only temporal comparison is required then the method Calendrical.isSimultaneous(CalendarDate) is to be used.
