U+1F55B · emoji since 2010
The clock face emojis are the round analog clocks that show every hour and half hour, from twelve o'clock all the way around. They mean time, schedules, deadlines, and the steady tick of the day.
People reach for them to set a vibe around time: counting down to an event, nudging someone who is running late, or marking the exact hour something happens. Pick the time you need below and copy it.
In texting, 🕛️ does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🕛️ is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Clock Face emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the clock face emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🕛️ leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
