What CLDR files under afternoon
Nothing. CLDR, the list of search words behind emoji keyboards, has morning, evening and night, and no afternoon, noon or midday. Hello, hi and greetings all lead to Waving hand. Tea finds four emoji, the Teapot and Hot beverage among them, and lunch finds Fork and knife alone.
A greeting and a goodbye
Wiktionary gives good afternoon as a greeting or a farewell, so the lines come both ways: the last two are for leaving. None of the six clock faces says which half of the day it is.
Afternoon, on its own, is short for good afternoon, Wiktionary notes.
Waving hand takes five skin tones, alone and in the combos. The sun does not.
French bon après-midi is said on leaving. On arriving it is bonjour.
