Wikipedia:How to write using Runes

Fram Wikipedian

This article applies to the Younger Futhark, or the alphabet used by the Anglo Saxons prior to the adoption of the Latin Alphabet. When you see that the rune ᛝ stands for "ng", that means that when you write "þing," you could replace that with ᚦᛁᛝ in runes.
