As described in IBMgraphics: the symbol for a moat or pool is subject to the user's character set. This article suggests the 'wavy equals sign' is intended instead of the symbol displayed elsewhere. Hence this article could grow an intro and section similar to fountain.--PeterGFin (talk) 19:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Retrieving Items
