🕣️Eight-Thirty Emoji

Tagged 30, 8 and 8:30, 🕣️ eight-thirty sits in Unicode's Time group inside Travel & Places. It was introduced in Unicode 7.0 (2014) at U+1F563 U+FE0F.

What 🕣️ eight-thirty means

Twenty-four of these characters are clock faces — every hour and every half-hour — and hardly anyone uses them to state a time; the half-past set arrived in Unicode 7.0. What people actually reach for is ⏳ and ⌛ for waiting, ⏰ for a deadline or a wake-up, and ⏱️ for speed. The clock faces mostly decorate.

Unicode tags this one 30, 8 and 8:30 and files it under Travel & Places → Time.
