U+16CB "ᛋ" Runic Letter Sigel Long-Branch-Sol S is a runic symbol from the Younger Futhark, specifically the long-branch variant used in medieval Scandinavia. Its name combines "Sigel," an Old English word for "sun" derived from the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, with "Sol," the Old Norse term for the same celestial body, and it represents the s sound. Historically, this rune was associated with concepts of light, victory, and life-giving energy, often carved on stones or manuscripts as a protective or auspicious sign.
