U+16BB "ᚻ" Runic Letter Haegl H Unicode Character

U+16BB "ᚻ" Runic Letter Haegl H is a glyph from the Elder Futhark, the oldest form of the runic alphabets used by Germanic peoples, and it represents the sound /h/ as well as the concept of hail, often associated with destructive weather or natural forces. Its name "Haegl" directly translates to "hail" in Old English, linking the rune to both literal precipitation and symbolic meanings of challenge or transformation in historical inscriptions. Found in artifacts such as the Kylver Stone and various Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, this character also appears in modern contexts for runic revival movements and digital text encoding, preserving its ancient phonetic and cultural significance.
