U+16A5 "ᚥ" Runic Letter W Unicode Character

U+16A5 "ᚥ" Runic Letter W is a character from the runic script, specifically the Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse runic alphabets, and it represents the sound /w/ or /v/ depending on the dialect. This rune, commonly known as "Wynn" or "Wunjo" in Old English, originates from the Elder Futhark and was used in early medieval inscriptions and manuscripts before being largely replaced by the Latin letter "W" in English writing. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation of historical texts, linguistic studies, and modern neopagan or fantasy contexts that employ runic symbols.
