What 🎑 means in other countries
References Tsukimi, the Japanese autumn moon-viewing festival — a specific tradition, not a generic moon emoji.
Tied to a real autumn festival with dango offerings and seasonal poetry.
Almost never recognized for its actual meaning, usually skipped in favor of a plain moon emoji.
Before you send it: Use it when the festival is actually relevant; otherwise a regular moon emoji communicates better.

Where the 🎑 Moon Viewing Ceremony emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Same character every time — U+1F391 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
🎑 existed there as
KDDI au EAEF, SoftBank E446.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Moon Viewing Ceremony was approved as U+1F391 and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🎑 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
