Esquarre (also escarre, Fr.)

Esquarre (Fr., alternately escarre, esquierre;[1] as Anglo-Norman alternately esquarie, esquire, esquierre, esquerre[2]) is a name for both a heraldic ordinary[3] and a set of related mobile charges.[4] As an ordinary, the Esquarre is defined as a charge that borders a quarter (Fr. franc quartier, or a singular quarter as charge)[5] on its two interior edges abutting the field.[6] The Esquarre isolates the quarter from the rest of the field.[7] De Galway suggested that the Esquarre is employed when both quarter and field are the same tincture.[8] The shape of the ordinary is likened to a carpenter's square, a tool formed of two arms joined perpendicularly.[9] When the two arms are of unequal length, the term potence (Fr.)[10] is also used, a term likening the form of this variant to a joined post and crossbeam, or gallows/scaffold.[11]

Esquarre as mobile charge

The source of the term, a builders square, informs its use when referring to a mobile charge.[12][13] The term is an archaic form of the modern French équerre—the ‘square’ as implement used to measure or set right angles.[14][15] These are the tools employed by masons and carpenters, woodworkers, architects and engineers, surveyors, students, etc. They take the form of either (voided) triangles or two arms joined perpendicularly.[16] As a mobile charge, esquarre refers frequently to the figurative representations of these tools, as well as abstract versions (see #Gallery). Another term favored by some authors for the Esquarre is the gama grec (Fr.), from the Greek letter gamma.[17] This gives rise to another heraldic use: gama grec is applied to figurative representations of these implements, and in turn escarre is used to denote representations of the Greek letter gamma.[18][19]

As Ordinary

Many contemporary flags approximate the classical or strict definition of the Ordinary, using a 'fillet esquarre' to border cantons and quarters, separating them from other charges as well as the field.
