What 🌚 means

A dark moon with a face and a knowing look. It means shady, awkward or mischievous: a sly, slightly creepy smirk.

People send it after a cheeky comment, when caught doing something odd, or to give side-eye. It is often paired with 🌝 to switch from dark to bright, for a playful 'who, me?' effect.

Its blank stare reads as creepy to some and funny to others, so the tone depends on the chat.
