seven-thirty

This clock emoji indicates the time, seven-thirty. It's a frequently used time when talking about morning or evening schedules.

Many people favor this time as their下班 time or dinner time. It's also a commonly used time around the world when making appointments in everyday conversations.

Before digital clocks became common, this emoji was designed to mimic the look of an analog clock. The clock hands pointing to 7:30 represent a traditional way of expressing time.

In modern society, this time is sometimes considered a symbol of work-life balance. It also has a symbolic meaning, representing the end of the workday for many office workers and the start of evening time with family. It is particularly closely related to Korea's "hoesik" culture (after-work gatherings) and Western dinner time.
