What 🌗 last quarter moon means

Weather doubles as mood throughout. 🔥 long ago stopped meaning fire and now means excellent; 🌊 and ⚡ intensify rather than describe; 🌈 reads as LGBTQ+ pride at least as often as weather. Unicode encodes all eight lunar phases as separate characters, plus four moons with faces, and 🌚 is used mainly for deadpan mischief.

Unicode tags this one last, moon and quarter and files it under Travel & Places → Weather.
