U+16A2 "ᚢ" Runic Letter Uruz Ur U Unicode Character

U+16A2 "ᚢ" Runic Letter Uruz Ur U is part of the Runic script block, representing the third letter of the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, historically associated with the sound "u" and the wild ox or aurochs as its symbolic meaning. This rune, known as Uruz in Old Norse and Ur in Old English, appears in various runic inscriptions across Northern Europe, often linked to concepts of strength, vitality, and primal endurance. Its angular design, typical of runic forms, consists of a vertical stave with branching lines, and it remains a notable element in both historical runology and modern runic studies for its cultural and linguistic significance.
