WhatsApp moons, with faces (🌚 and 🌝) have the meaning of provocation or irony.
They represent the new moon and the full moon. The dark colored moon is the new moon, in which the star is without light. The yellow one is the full moon, when we can see it in full.
With the faces, which have eyes turned to the left or right and a suggestive smile, the use of the moon in WhatsApp or other digital platforms assumes provocation, irony and sarcasm.
🌚 New moon with eyes facing left
Also known as the black moon, the new moon with a face is used in moments of irony and provocation. Especially teasing or sexual and romantic suggestions.
It can also be used in a different context, when someone is problematizing or sharing a critical reflection on an issue.
