Full moon emoji meaning

The full moon emoji is a graphical representation of the phase of the moon as it appears in the sky when the entire illuminated side of the moon is visible from Earth. This phase occurs when the Moon is located on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, with the fully illuminated side facing Earth. In this phase, the Moon appears as a complete circle, fully lit. This emoji can be used to represent the idea of completion, fullness or wholeness, or to indicate a specific date in a lunar-based calendar, such as a Blue Moon, or a Harvest Moon, or as a part of a full moon ritual/ceremony. It can also be associated with the night and darkness.

The full moon emoji was approved in Unicode 6.0 and added in Emoji 1.0, see related proposal L2/09026L2/07257
