U+16A1 "ᚡ" Runic Letter V Unicode Character

U+16A1 "ᚡ" Runic Letter V is a part of the Runic block and represents the rune commonly associated with the sound [v] in the Anglo-Saxon futhorc, where it is known as "wynn" or later "vend." This character is derived from the younger runic tradition and its shape, featuring a vertical line with a branching stroke, allows it to be distinguished from the similar-looking rune for "P" (ᛈ). Its inclusion in Unicode ensures it can be used for historical and linguistic study, as well as in modern contexts such as runic revival or fantasy writing.
