Unicode Version 17.0
ᛗ
U+16D7 "ᛗ" Runic Letter Mannaz Man M is a rune from the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of the runic alphabets used by Germanic peoples from roughly the 2nd to the 8th centuries. Its name, Mannaz, translates to "man" or "human," and it represents both the /m/ sound in writing and a concept of humanity, kinship, and the interconnectedness of people in ancient Germanic spirituality and magical practices. This rune is often associated with social order, cooperation, and the conscious self, appearing in historical inscriptions on artifacts and stones, and it has been revived in modern contexts such as neo-pagan runic divination and linguistic studies of early Northern European writing systems.
