The Vikings used a runic alphabet called the Elder Futhark, which consists of 24 characters. Each rune not only represented a sound but also had its own name and symbolic meaning. For example, the rune "Fehu" (ᚠ) represented the "f" sound and symbolized wealth and prosperity. The runes were used for various purposes, including inscriptions on stones, weapons, and everyday items, as well as for magical and divinatory practices. The Elder Futhark later evolved into the Younger Futhark, which had fewer characters and was used during the Viking Age. This specific design features a historical document called the "Codex Runicus".
