Hourglass Done

Description

The hourglass done emoji (⌛️) features a classic sand timer, its two glass bulbs connected by a narrow waist filled with flowing sand. It symbolizes the passage of time, often representing completion or the end of a task. Commonly used to signal deadlines or signify that time is up, it can also imply that one should stop procrastinating. An interesting scenario is during a countdown for a game or event, enhancing the urgency. Historically, hourglasses were pivotal in navigation, embodying the essential nature of time in human progress. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
