About moon symbols
The moon's phases are among the oldest diagrams humans keep: an eight-stage cycle from new moon through waxing crescent, first quarter and gibbous to full, then back down the other side. Unicode encodes the full cycle twice over — as astronomical symbols and as emoji faces.
The crescent (☾) is one of the most borrowed shapes in symbolism, standing for night, dreams, and — paired with a star — appearing on flags. It is a different character from the emoji crescents, which render as small pictures rather than text symbols.
