โฝ is the โfirst quarterโ crescent and opens to the right; โพ is the โlast quarterโ crescent and opens to the left. Put them either side of a word so they face inwards: โฝ dream โพ.

Questions, answered
Which moon symbol is not an emoji?
โฝ and โพ are text characters, so they take your font colour. ๐ and the phase symbols are emoji.
How do I make a moon phase line?
Copy the phases in order โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ or tap them one by one from the Moon phases group.
Why does โพ look tiny on my phone?
Text crescents are drawn at your font size, while emoji are drawn larger. Use ๐ if you want a bigger moon.
