@ -323,6 +323,21 @@ Get the Moon phase for a particular date by adding `@YYYY-MM-DD`:
The Moon phase information uses [pyphoon](https://github.com/chubin/pyphoon) as its backend.
Unicode representation of moonphases suffers 2 caveats:
- With some fonts, the representation `🌘` is ambiguous, for it either seem
almost-shadowed or almost-lit, depedending on whether your terminal is in
light mode or dark mode. Relying on colored fonts like `noto-fonts` works
around this problem.
- The representation `🌘` is also ambiguous, for it means "last quarter" in
northern hemisphere, but "first quarter" in souther hemisphere. It also means
nothing in tropical zones. This is a limitation that
[Unicode](https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17304-moon-var.pdf) is aware about.
But it has not been worked around at `wttr.in` yet.
See #364 for corresponding tracking issue. Any help is welcome.
