03 FAQ
What do the different clock-face emoji mean?
There are twelve clock faces, 🕐 (1:00) through 🕛 (12:00), plus half-hour versions. They're mostly decorative, people use whichever hand position looks right rather than the literal time.
What's the difference between ⏳ and ⌛?
⏳ shows sand still falling (time running out) and ⌛ shows the sand finished (time's up). Apps often animate ⏳ as a "loading" indicator.
Where are clock emoji on the keyboard?
Under the <b>Objects</b> category, or just search "clock", "alarm", or "time" in the emoji search field on any device.
