How it works

The clock text symbol is ⏰︎: Alarm clock, U+23F0, with the text-style selector, so it prints in the color of your words. Then come clocks and timers, a face for every half hour in time order, plain hourglasses, rows with a time and combos.

Find a face by its time

Unicode has a clock face for every hour and half hour, from Twelve o’clock to Eleven-thirty. Each carries its time as a search word, so typing 3:30 finds Three-thirty. The hour faces came with Emoji 0.6 and the half hours with Emoji 0.7. No face shows a quarter past.

Clocks that are plain text

Every clock emoji has a text form, an outline in the color of the words round it. ⧖ and ⧗ are hourglasses that were never emoji. The four quarter circles are look-alikes, not clocks.

  • CLDR files clock under 29 emoji: the faces and five clocks. The two hourglasses are filed under timer.
  • In a row with a time, the face can match it: 🕘 for 9:00, 🕧 for 12:30.

Questions and answers

How do I get a clock symbol as text, not as an emoji?

Copy ⏰︎. It is U+23F0 followed by U+FE0E, the text-style selector, which asks for the outline form. ⌚︎ and ⌛︎ work the same way. ⧖ and ⧗ need no selector, because they have no emoji form.

Is there a clock emoji for every time?

For every hour and half hour, U+1F550 to U+1F567. Unicode orders them one o’clock to twelve o’clock, then one-thirty to twelve-thirty. This page puts them in the order a clock shows them. Quarter hours have no emoji.

What is the difference between ⌛ and ⏳?

⌛ is Hourglass done: the sand has run through. ⏳ is Hourglass not done, formally Hourglass with flowing sand, and CLDR files it under waiting.

Which emoji means a timer?

CLDR files timer under three emoji: Timer clock, Hourglass done and Hourglass not done. Stopwatch is filed under clock and time instead.

How this list was compiled: Names, code points, sequences, skin tones and Emoji version numbers come from Unicode's emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); item names are the CLDR short names with a capital. Search words are the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch). Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt) and the names of plain characters from UnicodeData.txt and NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The clocks, timers and faces are the 31 emoji of the time subgroup of emoji-test.txt, and it is checked that every one has a text form, that the 24 faces are U+1F550 to U+1F567 with the hour faces from Emoji 0.6 and the half hours from 0.7, that each face carries its time in digits as a CLDR search word, and that clock is a search word of 29 emoji and timer of three. The two plain hourglasses have no Emoji property in emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt); the note on U+29D6 is quoted from NamesList.txt. The four circles with a quadrant are look-alikes and are labelled so. The times in the rows are samples. Rows and combos, with their names, are this site's own.
