About New Moon 🌑
The New Moon emoji (🌑) is a versatile Unicode character used across all major platforms and devices.
The 🌑 emoji may appear differently across platforms — Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, and other vendors each design their own version. Apple tends toward photorealistic renders, Google uses a rounded, friendly style, and Microsoft often opts for flat, minimalist designs. Despite visual differences, the underlying Unicode character (U+1F311) ensures the same emoji is sent and received regardless of device. When choosing this emoji for professional communication, be aware that the recipient may see a slightly different design than what you see on your screen.
Common shortcodes for this emoji include `:new_moon:`, which work on platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub. This emoji was assigned the Unicode code point U+1F311 and is part of the "Nature" group. Related search terms include dark, lunar, cycle, invisible, night. To use this emoji in HTML, insert the entity 🌑, or in CSS use content: "\1F311". For maximum compatibility, always copy the emoji character directly rather than relying on shortcodes, as shortcode support varies by platform.
