Clock Emojis, Copy & Paste

Twenty four of the 30 clock emojis are clock faces, one for every hour and every half hour on a twelve hour dial. That is a surprising amount of the emoji keyboard given how rarely anyone picks a specific time, and it exists because the original Japanese carrier sets included the full dial. The useful ones are the other six. โฐ alarm clock carries urgency, โฑ stopwatch means timing something precisely, โฒ timer clock means a countdown, ๐Ÿ•ฐ mantelpiece clock reads as decorative rather than functional, and the two hourglasses do the work people expect from a clock. โŒ› hourglass done ranks among the very oldest characters on the keyboard, present since the 1993 release of Unicode 1.1 and left uncoloured for decades afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between โŒ› and โณ?

โŒ› hourglass done shows the sand finished, meaning time has run out. โณ hourglass not done shows sand still falling, meaning something is still in progress. They are frequently swapped by mistake because the glyphs look nearly identical at small sizes.

How many clock emojis are there?

Thirty in total. Twenty four are clock faces covering every hour and half hour on a twelve hour dial, and the remaining six are the two hourglasses, the alarm clock, the stopwatch, the timer clock and the mantelpiece clock.

Which is the oldest clock emoji?

โŒ› hourglass done. The character shipped with the 1993 release and spent more than twenty years as a plain typographic mark before emoji presentation was formalised, so the glyph long predates the colour artwork.

Is there an emoji for a specific time?

Yes, for every hour and half hour. ๐Ÿ• is one o clock, ๐Ÿ•œ is one thirty, and so on through the full dial. There is no way to show a quarter past or any other minute, so most people use ๐Ÿ•› as a generic clock instead.

Further reading

The hourglasses are not interchangeable

โŒ› and โณ look like a pair and mean opposite things. โŒ› hourglass done shows the sand fully drained, so it means time is up. โณ hourglass not done shows sand still falling, so it means waiting is in progress. Choosing the wrong one inverts the message, and it happens constantly because the two glyphs sit next to each other in the picker and differ by a few pixels at normal size. If a message is about something still loading or still pending, โณ is correct. If a deadline has passed, โŒ› is. When neither needs to be precise, โฐ reads as urgency without committing to either state.

Why the clock faces mostly go unused

The 24 dial faces are specific to a fault. ๐Ÿ•” four o clock means four o clock and nothing else, which makes it useless for any message that is not about that exact hour. Most people reach for ๐Ÿ•› twelve o clock as a generic clock because it looks symmetrical, and that is a reasonable habit. Three real uses exist for the rest: marking a scheduled time in an event post, building a countdown by posting a descending sequence, and indicating position on a dial, which is how aviation and sports commentary borrow clock references. Outside those, the alarm clock communicates faster.
