It's a bit difficult to illustrate without the necessary fonts, so I'll try describing how it's written. The first stroke is the left sloping line. The top-line, right-line and the upward hook is always written as a single stroke. Then there are the two separate horizontal stokes inside the "perimeter" of the outer two strokes.

Hence 月, getsu or yue.
This is understood. FJerome is describing not the real-life character, but the character in this image - the "getsu" part of the samurai's ingame Sen job gauge.



If you look closely at that image, you'll see that the character looks like an alternative version of the real-life (月) character. Unlike the real-life character (月), this fantasy ingame version appears to have the "top-line" and the "right-line" written as two separate strokes from one another.
