As rmaddy has mentioned, you can use six E format. That will give you Mo, Tu, We etc. But if you want them in captitals specifically (MO, TU, WE, etc), you can set the veryShortWeekdaySymbols property of the NSDateFormatter object and use the same format mentioned in the question. You can use any Weekday Symbol you wish. As follows:

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.veryShortWeekdaySymbols = @[@"SU", @"MO", @"TU", @"WE", @"TH", @"FR", @"SA"];
formatter.dateFormat = @"EEEEE";
NSLog(@"%@", [formatter stringFromDate:date]);

According to the Unicode specification you should be able to use the EEEEEE (six E) format to get a two-letter weekday symbol.
