U+16DC "ᛜ" Runic Letter Ingwaz Unicode Character

U+16DC "ᛜ" Runic Letter Ingwaz is a character from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, representing the rune associated with the Germanic deity Yngvi or Ing, a god of fertility, peace, and kingship. Its shape, often drawn as a lozenge or diamond with extended points, is believed to symbolize the union of opposites, such as earth and sky or masculine and feminine, and it carries meanings of potential, inner growth, and the gestation of ideas. In runic inscriptions, it appears in names and ritual contexts, linking the rune to concepts of ancestral lineage and sacred kingship in early medieval Germanic cultures.
