Unicode Version 17.0
ᛮ
U+16EE "ᛮ" Runic Arlaug Symbol is a lesser-known glyph from the Runic block, specifically part of the Medieval or Staveless runes used in Scandinavia. It represents the "Arlaug" rune, which is often associated with a decorated or variant form of the Younger Futhark, though its exact historical phonetic value remains uncertain. This symbol was primarily employed in runic inscriptions for ornamental or mystical purposes rather than as a standard letter, and it is included in Unicode to support scholarly transcription and historical linguistic research.
