🕞️Three-Thirty Emoji
🕞️ three-thirty — U+1F55E U+FE0F, added in Unicode 7.0 (2014). Unicode groups it with the other 31 time emojis under Travel & Places.
What 🕞️ three-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 3, 30 and 3:30 and files it under Travel & Places → Time.
Copy variants
three-thirty carries a variation selector (U+FE0F) that forces colour rendering. Drop it and the same character renders as monochrome text.
