What do you call a horns or points of a crescent moon?

In artistic representations, the crescent Moon is often shown as a sickle-shaped object, but this is a false impression. The Moon is always round, but sometimes the Sun only lights up a portion of it. In other words, there are no "horns" to the Moon. Several national flags show the Moon with a star quite close to it. This is good artistic composition, but bad astronomy. Such stars would have their light blocked by the Moon, which is still there, even when only partly lit up/
