A skyline of buildings at different heights, a few windows lit, cast in the maroon-and-gold light of early evening. This is the end-of-day emoji: sunset, wrapping up work, or just scene-setting for a nighttime story that's about to start.
What 🌆 means
Framed in a square, this cityscape has rectangular buildings of different heights with a few lit windows, cast in the dark brown or maroon tones typical of that time of day, against a yellowish sky.
The 🌆 Cityscape at Dusk emoji represents the latter part of the day; evening and sunset. It signifies the end of the day, a time to wind up, relax (unless you're scheduled for a night shift), and the time to head out for that much-needed beer.
How and when to use it
- If you're texting someone about the time at which you would meet them for a drink or head out for anything else, you can use 🌆. For instance, "I'll see you at 5:30 🌆" (it automatically implies that it's PM).
- 🌆 can be used to represent anything dusky in color; a painting, a dress, dusky skin, etc.
- Sunsets are the most beautiful time of the day. So, go crazy, upload those social media stories about the impeccable sunset in your city and drop the 🌆 emoji into it.
- While sharing pictures and/or videos of sunsets as social media posts or as direct messages (DMs), you could use 🌆. However, there's one catch. The post ought to have a city skyline or a reference to the city.
- You could also use 🌆 while posting or reposting sunset painting posts as well; a video of the process and/or a picture of the masterpiece.
