ᛇ
U+16C7 "ᛇ" Runic Letter Iwaz Eoh is a rune from the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of the runic alphabet used by Germanic peoples for writing, magic, and divination. Its name, Eoh, means "yew tree," and it is associated with concepts of longevity, resilience, and the boundary between life and death, as the yew tree was often planted in graveyards and its wood used for making bows and weapons. In its phonetic role, this rune typically represents a sound similar to the long "i" or a diphthong, and it appears in historical inscriptions on artifacts like the Kylver Stone in Sweden.
