What Are the Differences Between These Two Tokens?

So I recently came across

%ICUDateTime%d% and %Calculate%DAY()% Tokens.

It seems both show the current date.

Can I use either one of them or is there a certain scenario that I should use one and not the other?

Thanks

Most of my macros use ICUDate for inserting or getting date.

What are you using them for?

Note that one is an actual text token, and one is a function that's been tokenized using the calculate token.

I would nearly always use the the ICUDateTime token in text fields.

Thanks, I just saw it in one of the macros and I was wondering about it.
I also prefer the ICUDateTime token.
