Yes. I am not talking about using the Placard to discover Ethnui's true name, but to use it in connection with her True Name to strengthen the binding. The same way Harry used various symbolic items to help him bind the Erlking in DB, only more so.
Ethniu is a major power, stronger than Mab, way stronger than the Erlking. Binding her isn't going to be easy.

Right, but to me it sounds like at the very end Harry and Murphy are setting out to keep that from happening.
Which to me means Harry probably intends to take down Ethniu before the invasion really gets going.
From "Christmas Eve" we know it won't work out that way, there will be lots of damage and death. But I think that's Harry's plan, so I don't think he'd start out by doing something obvious to everyone.

Yeah, from Christmas Eve we know Harry did try to talk to them. However it isn't clear who themwere. It could be it was a beginning of a full mass slaughter riot type a thing, he used the Placard, it stopped massive slaughter, but there was still plenty of death to go around.
Bad Alias:
TL:DR, I have no idea what it's for.
Before Skin Game, I'd never heard of any legends about the placard. Just the INRI inscription on many crucifixes and what it meant. I don't even know what to google to find out legends about it. I'm sure placard isn't the best search word. I did find this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titulus_Crucis#:~:text=Titulus%20Crucis%20(Latin%20for%20%22Title,a%20relic%20associated%20with%20Jesus.. Maybe someone else can find some stories of legends surrounding it?
There's a bunch of legends about the Holy Grail and the Lance. There's plenty of stuff out there about the Shroud of Turin. There's legends about pieces of the cross, the nails, and pieces of the Crown of Thorns. I think maybe Jim just added it because he needed a 5th thing and worked his way into what it would do without reference to any real world stories.

The little I know about it is it says that Jesus was King of the Jews, in Latin, Hebrew, and Greek I believe.

This is correct. Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.
But I also don't find any legends.
