What does 🕛 Twelve O’clock mean?
A clock face with both hands pointing straight up at 12.

People also use it for “high noon” showdowns and Cinderella-style curfews.
🕛 Twelve O’clock is an emoji from the Travel & Places category (clocks & time), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about 12, 12:00, o’clock and time.
