U+16A7 "ᚧ" Runic Letter Eth Unicode Character

U+16A7 "ᚧ" Runic Letter Eth is a glyph from the Old Norse runic alphabet, specifically part of the extended runic set used to represent the voiced "th" sound, similar to the "th" in the English word "that." This character, called "eth" in runic contexts, is distinct from the standard rune for thorn (ᚦ) and appears in medieval runic inscriptions and manuscripts to differentiate between the voiced and unvoiced dental fricative sounds. It reflects the linguistic precision developed in later runic writing systems, particularly in Scandinavia, where scribes needed to accurately transcribe the sounds of Old Norse.
