Clarification for e-4D2 (currently EMBLEM)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Clarified with SoftBank. SB did not have the original record but they believe 
it is based on fleur-de-
lis.

This looks like an anchor from a Naval officer's uniform crest or service 
emblem worn around the neck. 
These would have been a common sight in bars in Japan after World War II.

A fleur de lys has a different structure: the two side parts curve downwards, 
rather than the upwards curve seen in 
EMBLEM.

Markus replies: Hm. Its Japanese name is actually "Emblem", and it has a 
specific 
meaning more like a "Wappen", but I like that an image search for "trident" 
comes up 
with close matches to the glyph.

Should we rename it?

Got feedback from SoftBank. They are ok with naming it as TRIDENT.
