U+168B "ᚋ" Ogham Letter Muin is a symbol from the ancient Ogham alphabet, a writing system used primarily in early medieval Ireland and Britain to inscribe the Primitive Irish language on stone monuments. This specific letter, named "Muin," represents the phonetic sound /m/ and is traditionally associated with the word for "neck" or "love," though its exact meaning in Ogham lore is debated.
