Waning crescent moon emoji SVG

A waning crescent moon (appearing to become smaller), the last of the phases of the moon. Depicts the moon as a cratered disc, its left side illuminated in a thin, golden or silver crescent, its remainder dark. May be used to represent the moon more generally, nighttime, outer space, and astronomy. May also be used to convey enchanting or eerie feelings. In July 2023 this emoji trended on Emojipedia. This is likely due to it being required to complete developer Neal Agarwal’s viral hit The Password Game. See also 🌙 Crescent Moon. Not to be confused with 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon, though their applications may overlap. Used as part of the Moon Emoji Creep meme. Samsung’s design once resembled a full moon with stars and previously displayed as a waning crescent moon in a night sky with stars. Waning Crescent Moon was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name "Waning Crescent Moon Symbol" and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

Use this emoji in your website

You can add the waning crescent moon emoji to your website in a few ways. The first way is by using the unicode character, the emoji itself. This has the advantage of rendering immediately and it doesn't require any additional network requests. However, emoji characters don't always scale well and they are inconsistent across platforms.

<p>Here is my emoji: 🌘</p>

The second way is by using the emoji's HTML character reference, which has the same advantages and disadvantages of using the emoji itself.

<p>Here is my emoji: &#x1f318;</p>

The third way is by using an image to display the emoji. This works great if you want to display larger emojis, for example, to allow users to "react" to an article. We provide an Emoji API which you can use to display high-quality SVG or PNG emoji images on your website.
