U+16D0 "ᛐ" Runic Letter Short-Twig-Tyr T Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᛐ
U+16D0 "ᛐ" Runic Letter Short-Twig-Tyr T is a grapheme from the Younger Futhark runic alphabet, specifically representing the short-twig variant of the Tyr rune, which is associated with the god Týr and the phoneme /t/. This rune, visually simplified compared to its long-branch counterpart, was primarily used in medieval Scandinavian inscriptions, particularly in Norway and Sweden, during the Viking Age and later medieval period. Its name, derived from the Norse god of war and justice, echoes the rune's symbolic connection to victory and law, and it appears in historical artifacts like runestones and amulets as a marker of both sound and cultural meaning.
