What ๐ means
A grey-framed circular clock with a white dial and the hour-hand and minute-hand held at 10 and 12, respectively. There may not be numbers, dots, or spokes shown on all platforms but you know them.
The ๐ Ten O'Clock emoji represents the typical 12-hour clock, where time is told in terms of AM and PM; 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM. This emoji could also be used to tell time in the 24-hour way, 10:00 and 22:00.
How and when to use it
- If you're posting or reposting anything about a show/TV program named after this particular slot in time, feel free to use ๐. Brownie points if the show starts at 10 indeed!
- Similar to the 4 o'clock reference to flowers, there are 10 o'clock plants/flowers too! And you know where this is going. Use ๐ in the captions or even in direct messages (DM) if you're talking about these colorful little guys (the time ref. here is essentially the time they bloom).
- Based on the previous point, if you're referring to someone who wakes up or finally begins to use their brains/consciousness post 10 o'clock only, you could use ๐ to refer to them, and in a way referring them to the flower too. Aww, isn't it?
- You can also use ๐ while texting goodnight to that friend/bestie/just a random person you're texting coz you're bored either because you know that 10 is when they sleep or because it's your bedtime.
