What 🌒 means

A thin moon with a growing sliver of light. It means the waxing crescent, the first phase after the new moon.

Moon watchers and astrology fans use it to track the cycle, and it fits dreamy night-sky aesthetics. It can also stand for something small that is just starting to grow.

The phase emoji follow the view from the Northern Hemisphere. South of the equator the lit side appears flipped.
