Icon name

calendar-current, clock-current

Use cases

For a time/date management component that user will be able to click button ant scroll/select to the now/today/current.

Design ideas

It's a combination of a calendar, clock with flag-triangle that means "here/now" in for the date/time.
It's other than "selection/check"

I'm not sure we can fit that flag with optimal legibility within either calendar or clock:

icons icons

calendar-dot may be a valid alternative design:

icons

However, as far as the use case itself is concerned, from an accessibility point of view I'd suggest just using "today" as the label of this element without any further iconography (as is done in pretty much all major calendar apps).

Dot is fine i gues. Also the use case is that i have a list of dates/times and i want to mark them Past/Future/Now. Where for now none of existing icons fit for me.
For past - calendar-arrow-down, future - calendar-arrow-up.... Today/now none of other icons seems to tell me "we are here".
