Waxing Crescent Moon

The waxing crescent moon icon represents the lunar phase when the Moon appears to be increasing in size and a small portion of its illuminated surface is visible. This phase occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the Sun's light illuminating an increasing portion of the Moon's surface. The waxing crescent moon is often associated with the early stages of the lunar cycle.

The waxing crescent moon icon can be found in various astronomical and space-related applications, such as planetarium software, astronomy apps, and websites focused on space exploration. It is also used in calendars and astrology charts to indicate the lunar phase.

From a UX perspective, the waxing crescent moon icon communicates a sense of growth or increase, as it represents the Moon's increasing illumination. This icon can help users understand the lunar cycle and plan their activities accordingly.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds WaxingCrescentMoonIcon to components/icons/emojione-monotone-waxing-crescent-moon.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed WaxingCrescentMoonIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Waxing Crescent Moon icon, or any of 1,403 Emoji One (Monotone) icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 64 × 64 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Waxing Crescent Moon", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. WaxingCrescentMoonIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <WaxingCrescentMoonIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
