Odal rune

The Odal rune (ᛟ) is a Germanic rune meaning 'Homestead'. It is associated with property and inheritance, wealth and prosperity.

The glyph is illustrated here both with and without the small serif-like lines at the bottom, as these are optional. The rune is encoded in Unicode - at codepoint U+16DF, and in their code charts it is shown without.

It is used as a Swastika-like emblem by extreme right-wing and and neo-Nazi groups, and followers of the "spiritual" movements of Odalism or Odinism. It was the emblem of ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) of the Yugoslavian SS-regiment (the 7. SS Freiwillingen-Gebirgs -- Division Prinz Eugen) operating during World War II in the Nazi Germany sponsored Independent State of Croatia. It was also used by the South African African Student Federation.
