What does PHEON mean in Scrabble?
noun
heraldry
A heraldic charge in the shape of a broad, barbed arrowhead.
A pheon sits point downward on a shield unless the blazon says otherwise, and its barbs curve inward along the inner edge, which is the detail that lets a herald tell a pheon apart from a plain arrowhead. The charge represents the head of a dart or javelin rather than the whole weapon. Families with a military strand in their history often carried a pheon among the charges on their arms.
