Most emoji designers put the hour clock hand to same position as it was 30 minutes earlier, such as here :
https://emojipedia.org/twelve-thirty/ (or any other XX:30 time)
Although this looks just plain wrong, it might make some sense to the speakers of the languages with the concept of “half after” (such as English or French). (Does it actually?)
Speakers of languages with the concept of “half to” (such as German or Russian) will get confused. And probably anyone who is used to a classical clock/watch.
Any idea why most big companies designed the emojis the wrong way and did not fix them later?
