This is a thing but it’s use is limited to things like military applications where coordinated operations regularly take place over multiple time zones.
Names for it include Zulu time, Z-Time, Coordinated Universal Time and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).
In the NATO phonetic alphabet “Z” is named “Zulu”, so to actually say “Z”Time over a radio you’d say “Zulu” Time, hence how it got its name. Why they picked Z ¯_(ツ)_/¯
