U+16EF "ᛯ" Runic Tvimadur Symbol Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᛯ
U+16EF "ᛯ" Runic Tvimadur Symbol is a special character within the Runic block, representing a symbol from an extended or medieval runic tradition, often associated with magical or cryptic inscriptions rather than standard runic alphabets of Germanic antiquity. Its exact meaning is debated among scholars, but it is sometimes interpreted as a bindrune or a talismanic mark used in later Norse and Icelandic contexts, particularly in practices involving protective or mystical runic formulas. This character is distinct from the common runic letters used for writing, serving instead as a symbolic or decorative element in historical manuscripts and modern digital representations of the runic corpus.
