LaTeX I'm trying to typeset a certain symbol in LaTeX

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a crescent moon symbol that is not found in the provided list of symbols. They have searched using terms like "crescent" and "moon" without success and are considering creating the symbol themselves using TikZ. Additionally, they are looking for a package that can create a decorative ending card with horizontal borders above and below the text "THE END," which is centered on a blank page. Another participant mentions a TikZ command \moon{<day>} for drawing lunar phases, but the original user notes that this command is not in the official manual and is a custom macro from a StackExchange article, which includes an unwanted outer border. They plan to modify the code to create a black-filled crescent symbol.

TL;DR Summary
I'm trying to typeset a black-filled crescent moon symbol in LaTeX. I want it to be exactly like \faMoonO, but filled in. I can't seem to find it in the list.

The symbol I've described isn't in this list. I've searched "crescent" and "moon", but to no avail. Will I have to go through the trouble of creating one myself using TikZ, or something?

Also, I need a horizontal border to insert above and/or below the words "THE END", which are centered vertically and horizontally in an otherwise blank page. If anyone knows of a package that already typesets an ending card, and allows also for extra decoration, I'd very much be glad to hear it.

Hi, if you use the TikZ library there is a command \moon{<day>} that takes the day of the lunar month as an argument and draws the corresponding lunar phase ...

There's no mention of such a macro in the official manual. If this is in reference to that StackExchange article, then that article explicitly mentions that that moon macro is a custom one. Moreover, it has that outer border that I don't want. I'll do some research on how to modify the code to create a black-filled crescent symbol.
