Meaning

A moon shown half lit, with the right side illuminated and the left in shadow, representing the first quarter phase. It commonly conveys nighttime, the moon, space, or astronomy, and often appears in posts about stargazing, evening moods, or lunar cycles. It can also suggest balance or duality, since half is bright and half dark. In some contexts it is used for sleep or late-night themes. Usage is often decorative rather than literal, so the intended meaning depends on surrounding text.

First quarter moon — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
