How it looks

What does it mean?

An analog clock face showing 2:30. Half past two is the deep afternoon. At 2:30 PM, the post-lunch slump is in full swing, and the question "is it five yet?" starts forming in every office worker's mind. At 2:30 AM, it's past last call in most US states, the hour when the streets empty and only insomniacs and shift workers are still awake.

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.

Extremely rare in actual usage. People default to 🕑 or type "2:30" instead. When 🕝 appears, it's in scheduling contexts or by someone who appreciates the absurd precision of choosing the exact half-hour clock emoji.

Fun facts

  • •2:30 PM is often cited as the peak of the afternoon slump. The circadian dip combines with post-lunch digestion to create the sleepiest moment of the workday.
  • •The Wingdings font that produced 🕝 was assembled from glyphs designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes, the same typographers behind the Lucida font family. Their decorative clock symbols became permanent Unicode characters.
  • •At 2:30 AM in most of the US, bars have been closed for 30 minutes. It's the hour of empty streets, Uber surge pricing, and late-night pizza slices.
