It is often a monthly letter that you often buzz on Twitter, etc. It is a month character generator which can easily generate. In the background image of the official page , the three characters "moon" "sentence" "character" were represented by the phases of the moon.

How to use month character generator is very easy. Enter the character you want to express with the month letter on the input form at the bottom of the official page and click "Convert".

Using the month character generator, it was very easy to put your favorite month characters on SNS and send them to friends by message.
