For this reason, DrawShield ignores all punctua..."

Take the example of "chief" if you sat that something is "in chief" you mean it is at the top of the shield. But "a chief" is a thing, an ordinary, and being a thing it needs further description, a tincture (color) at least. Thus we have "a chief gules". If the chief itself is decorated with a charge, then we say either "a chief gules charged with…" or "on a chief gules". "On" is f..." current

Sadly, in my view, this isn't really the case for anything in a purely heraldic context. So for example, a paricular culture might consider that an image of a Fox represents ''cunning'', or that lions are ''courageous'' but these meanings belong to the objects themselves, in any context, and may well have had tho..."
