Moon phase emoji, in order
There are eight moon phase emoji. They go from the dark new moon ๐ to the bright full moon ๐ and back again. One full lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days, so each emoji covers three or four nights.
Click any moon to copy it.
- ๐ New moon: the moon is between us and the sun, so we can't see the lit side.
- ๐ Waxing crescent: a thin sliver that grows each night.
- ๐ First quarter: half of the moon is lit.
- ๐ Waxing gibbous: more than half, still growing.
- ๐ Full moon: the whole face is lit.
- ๐ Waning gibbous: more than half, now shrinking.
- ๐ Last quarter: the other half is lit.
- ๐ Waning crescent: a thin sliver before the next new moon.
The date math uses the average length of a moon cycle, so it can be off by a day. Check a calendar for exact times.
Most emoji sets draw the moon the way people in the northern half of the world see it. South of the equator the moon looks flipped, so a growing moon is lit on the left side. There, ๐ looks more like the moon just after a new moon.
The moons with faces are often used for feelings. The dark new moon face ๐ has a sly look and often means "awkward" or "I know what you did". The bright full moon face ๐ is its happy twin.

Why โ and โ๏ธ look different
Some nature emoji are older than emoji. The sun โ, the cloud โ and the snowflake โ were plain text symbols in Unicode long before phones had emoji. They can show in two ways: as a small black and white symbol, or as a color emoji.
An invisible character after the symbol picks the look. U+FE0E asks for the text style and U+FE0F asks for the emoji style. Without either one, each app picks for itself. That is why the same sun can look different in two apps.
| Symbol | Text style | Emoji style | Code point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | โ︎ | โ️ | U+2600 |
| Cloud | โ︎ | โ️ | U+2601 |
| Snowflake | โ︎ | โ️ | U+2744 |
| Umbrella | โ︎ | โ️ | U+2602 |
| Snowman | โ︎ | โ️ | U+2603 |
Some devices ignore the request and always show color. The symbol emoji page explains text style and emoji style in more detail.
