U+16B9 "ᚹ" Runic Letter Wunjo Wynn W Unicode Character

U+16B9 "ᚹ" Runic Letter Wunjo Wynn W is a character from the Runic block used to represent the w sound in various Germanic runic alphabets, such as the Elder Futhark, where it is called *wunjō, meaning "joy" or "bliss." In the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, it is known as wynn, and it was adopted into the Old English Latin alphabet as the letter Ƿ (wynn) before being replaced by the modern letter W. Its shape resembles a vertical line with two upward slanted branches, and it appears in historical inscriptions on artifacts like the Franks Casket, symbolizing concepts of happiness and prosperity in runic lore.
