Runic Letter V Letter Meaning
ᚡ is Unicode’s “RUNIC LETTER V” (U+16A1). As a runic letter, it’s primarily used to represent a V sound/letter in runic-style writing or to add a traditional, historical visual tone to text. In practice, many people use it decoratively—such as in logos, posters, tattoos, or themed social media posts—where the exact linguistic correctness matters less than the runic appearance. When composing content, ensure your font supports this character; otherwise it may not render as expected. For technical work, you can reliably include it using Unicode escapes (HTML, CSS, or JavaScript).
