U+1F31A · emoji since 2015
The dark moon with a face is 🌝's shadowy twin: same smirk, more menace. It lurks at the edge of conversations being deliberately creepy or sly.
It's beloved for awkward flirting, dark humor, and appearing uninvited. The moon, but make it suspicious.
In texting, 🌚 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🌚 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the New Moon Face emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the new moon face emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🌚 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
Or make your own cipher in the translator.
