How it looks

What does it mean?

An analog clock face showing 6:30. Half past six is the transition. At 6:30 PM, the workday is over and the evening has begun. Dinner is either being served or being cooked. The evening news historically aired at 6:30 PM on US networks, making it the hour when Americans collectively checked in on the world before dinner.

One of the 12 half-hour clock emojis from Wingdings, standardized in Unicode 6.0 (2010). Ranks in Unicode's Group 15, the lowest usage tier.

Rarely used. People default to 🕕 or type "6:30." When it does appear, it's for dinner coordination or precise scheduling in group chats.

Fun facts

  • •6:30 PM is the most common dinner time in the United States and northern Europe. Southern European countries eat significantly later.
  • •The Wingdings font that spawned 🕡 was originally made for desktop publishing. Its clock faces were decorative symbols for printed documents, not communication tools.
