How do you use the 📅 function? It always seems to show an arbitrary date when you put just `:date:` - is there a way to change what date is shown?

_function?_ It’s an Emoji

Similar to `⏰’ it only shows the one. ⏰

I suppose someone with the know-how could make a set to get it to be more like the `:clock##:` series.

`:clock12: :clock430: :clock8: :clock1030:` etc  
🕛 🕟 🕗 🕥
