The OP is clearly referring to midnight since it is both 12 am and 12 pm

12am = midnight
12pm = noon
(a) One cannot rely on people understanding that and getting it right.
(b) The initial or the final midnight of the day?
Midnight is usually taken as ending the day; 12 a.m. as starting it.
Using ISO 8601 is unambiguous; for a given day, 00:00, 12:00, & 24:00
are at 12-hour intervals.
