Meaning of the Clock Emoji
The range of time emojis at your fingertips is huge: you can choose any time of day, in half-hour increments, and additionally some variations of the clock or watch. They may be used in various contexts.
⏰ Take the Alarm Clock emoji, to begin with. Imagine someone has promised you something. The deadline has already come, but the promised thing hasn’t been delivered. The alarm clock icon can be a way to “wake up” this person and make them remember their promise. If you’re waiting for someone, and this person is running late, this emoji can also be exactly what you need. The icon is often colored red, so this variant of the clock emoji is a rather harsh one, when used as a reminder, in comparison with the two ones we’ll describe below.
🕒 The Three O’Clock emoji features the face of an ordinary analog clock, where the time is set at three o’clock. Pair this emoji with the icon depicting some kind of activity, like that: 📺 🕒 (“Let’s watch TV at 3”) or ☕🕒 (“Let’s have a coffee at 3”).
🕕 In the case of the Six O’Clock emoji, the contexts are pretty much the same. The only thing that’s different is the time of day the icon refers to.
The Use of the Clock Emoji
Quite often, the Alarm Clock is used when you need to emphasize that it’s important to be on time. Or when you doubt the person will be able to be on time. In addition to being used in the alarm/alert/reminder context, this emoji can be a great way to refer to sleeping and waking. It’s universal enough to talk about time generally. The other two emojis are more specific and show the exact time.
Conclusion
Clock emojis are typically used for scheduling or acknowledging deadlines. Given the range of the icons, you can take any time of day, in half-hour increments. Simple clock emojis are neutral, while the alarm clock emoji seems more demanding – use it wisely not to offend someone. It may look like you’re pushing this person.
