U+16CD "ᛍ" Runic Letter C Unicode Character

U+16CD "ᛍ" Runic Letter C is a character in the Runic script, specifically representing a rune from the Anglo-Saxon or Old English futhorc alphabet, where it corresponds to the sound of the letter "c" as in "cat" or "k." Its runic form is a distinct shape, typically consisting of a vertical line with two diagonal strokes branching off to the right, and it was used in early medieval inscriptions across Northern Europe, particularly in England, before the adoption of the Latin alphabet. In modern contexts, this character is employed for historical linguistic studies, runic reconstruction, or decorative purposes in typography and digital text encoding.
