Why is Maha Shivratri on Wed 14 Feb in Codcod?

Maha Shivratri is on Wed 14 Feb: Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 01:04 Wed. Chaturdashi: 01:04 Wed to 03:16 Thu.

Chaturdashi holds all of nishitha, 23:36–00:25 Thu. Chaturdashi: 01:04 to 03:16 Thu.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 01:04 on Wed 14 Feb to 03:16 on Thu 15 Feb, so only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:36–00:25 Thu) falls within it.

The rule

Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Magha Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Chaturdashi holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava: the Smarta day.
