Crescent Moon Emoji

What does the Crescent Moon emoji mean?
1
A glowing, fully illuminated crescent moon — typically used to evoke night-time.
2
The crescent moon appears just after the New Moon, as the Earth's satellite begins to emerge from shadow. It curves to the right and is usually shown in yellow or white, without the full outline of the celestial body.
If it’s late and you’re still awake, you might be a night owl — this emoji will probably feel familiar. Some people prefer to work through the night when everything is quiet. The emoji is associated with the night, romance and magic.
