Source: Browser Default
U+16E0 "ᛠ" Runic Letter Ear is a character from the Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet known as the Futhorc, where it represents a sound and a word meaning "earth" or "grave." Its name "Ear" is derived from the Old English word for "earth" or "dust," and it is typically used in later Anglo-Saxon inscriptions, often appearing in place of the earlier rune *Eoh or as a variant for the diphthong sound /eo/ or /ea/. This rune is one of the later additions to the runic set, reflecting the evolution of the Futhorc during the early medieval period in England.
