Phonetic letter approximation
This is transliteration by character substitution, not translation or historically validated Old Norse. C, Q, and X use closest sound approximations (K, K, and KS).
Approximate reverse mapping
Several Latin letters share runes, so rune-to-Latin output chooses a common representative letter and cannot recover the original spelling exactly.
Local text handling
Conversion and copying happen in your browser. No text is uploaded.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Which alphabet is used?
The 24-rune Elder Futhark alphabet.
Is this a translation?
No. It is a phonetic or letter substitution, not a translation.
Why is reverse conversion approximate?
Elder Futhark has fewer symbols than modern Latin, so multiple letters map to one rune.
Can I use it for a tattoo?
Review the result with a qualified historical runes reference first; direct substitution may not match historical spelling.
