Emoji are also sometimes used to draw attention to documentation or code comments.

Cultural Considerations

Time emojis are generally universal, but consider:

• 12-hour vs 24-hour time format preferences.
• Different calendar systems in various cultures.
• Workday timing variations across regions.
• Religious or cultural time observances.
• Time zone differences when displaying time-based emojis in global applications (consider using UTC as your base reference).
