U+16DE "ᛞ" Runic Letter Dagaz Daeg D is a character representing the rune from the Elder Futhark alphabet, known as "dagaz" or "daeg" in Old English, which corresponds to the letter "D." This rune carries a symbolic meaning associated with daylight, dawn, or the concept of a day, often representing transformation, clarity, and the cyclic nature of time in ancient Germanic and Norse cultures. It appears in historical runic inscriptions and manuscripts, such as the Codex Runicus, and has been adopted in modern digital contexts for textual representation of runic writing.
