U+16B7 "" Runic Letter Gebo Gyfu G is a runic symbol from the Elder Futhark alphabet, where it represents the "g" sound and carries the meaning of "gift" or "generosity". In Old English and Old Norse contexts, this rune symbolizes exchange, partnership, and the reciprocal nature of giving, often associated with hospitality, love, and divine blessings. Its shape, resembling an X or a crossed pair of lines, visually suggests a meeting or an offering, and it appears in historical inscriptions on rune stones and artifacts. Today, the character is encoded in Unicode to support digital representation of runic texts in historical and linguistic studies.
