Moon Viewing Ceremony 🎑
🎑 (U+1F391) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Moon Viewing Ceremony is part of the Symbols family (block: Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The MOON VIEWING CEREMONY emoji depicts a cultural event symbol. Use it in messages to reference the idea of observing the Moon during festivals or quiet moments of reflection. It can mark a celebration post about a lunar occasion, or accompany a note that invites others to share a moon‑gazing activity. In UI text or chat, place it to add mood without long words, and pair it with clear wording to avoid ambiguity. Expect color and style differences across platforms, apps, and fonts, so test in your target environments. For accessibility, provide surrounding text that conveys the intended meaning, and ensure screen readers convey the event rather than a mere symbol. Cross‑platform appearance may vary, as with most color emoji, and clear context helps readers interpret it correctly."}
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F391 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
