U+16C2 "ᛂ" Runic Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᛂ
U+16C2 "ᛂ" Runic Letter E is part of the Runic block and represents a letter found in the Younger Futhark, an ancient Germanic writing system used primarily in Scandinavia from the 8th to the 12th centuries. This character corresponds to the sound value of the vowel "e" and appears in historical runic inscriptions on stones, weapons, and other artifacts. Its name and shape connect it to the runic alphabet's later development, where it was used for short or long "e" sounds, distinguishing it from other runes like "ᛖ" (Ehwaz) in the Elder Futhark.
