moon symbol

Nighttime sky emblem

A moon symbol is a crescent or circular shape representing the moon, used across contexts from astronomy to religion to interface design.

In weather forecasts and apps, it indicates nighttime or clear skies.

The crescent moon symbol holds religious significance in Islam and appears on flags of Muslim-majority nations.

On devices, a moon symbol typically indicates do-not-disturb or sleep mode: I put my phone on moon symbol during meetings.
