ᛊ (and variants with even more strokes) was used first and was later reduced to the three strokes variant in the Elder Futhark. You obtain ᛋ by tapping and holding the ᛊ key.Excellently made
This app is awesome and well worth the money. The keyboards are really well designed and easy to use. I'm a big fan.
I do wish that the Futhorc keyboard had the calc rune for a more direct k transliteration, but I'm not at all an expert so if it's missing for a good reason then no problem.
I also wish you would've published a picture or list with all the runes that are on the keyboards in the app's store page. I was really hoping to get an app with all the runes I'd memorized, but this one seems to be missing calc like I mentioned. It's ok though. Still a great, user friendly app.🔫🎯👒👕
Developer Response
Hi, thank you very much for your review. The keyboard's rune inventory is based on the Codex Vindobonensis 795, a compilation of runes used in the 9th century AD. I am quite busy these days so unfortunately I cannot promise anything at the moment. But I put the calc rune on the list of feature candidates to be implemented in a future update.I wish it included more runes
It’s missing the Yr rune ᛦBarlow Tony
Developer Response
Hi Barlow Tony, the yr rune is ᚣ which is included in the keyboard's rune inventory. The calc rune (ᛣ) is not part of the Codex Vindobonensis 795 upon which the keyboard's design is based. Another user requested this rune to be supported which I intend to add in a future version of the keyboard. I am quite busy these days, though, so it might take some time until I can work on the next version.

1.2
August 2, 2020

More1.1
July 25, 2020
Bugfixes, built-in help. In Detail: NEW: • Added built-in help which provides information on: - how to install the provided keyboards and making them available in other apps, - how the keys of the keyboard work. • Added the *ēwaz rune (/æ/) to the key of the English keyboard that transcribes the letter A. • Added ways to connect with me. BUGFIXES: • Transcription en -> Elder Futhark: - The phoneme /ʒ/ produced in English for the letter J has no corresponding rune in the Elder Futhark. Previously, the *jēra- rune was used to transcribe J, a decision which was based on the transliteration from Elder Futhark to Latin script. Now, the key to transcribe J has no primary character anymore but two alternative characters: A sequence of runes which attempt to come as close as possible to /ʒ/ and the *jēra- rune. - The /kf/ alternative character for Q is found in the repertoire of Germans who speak English with an accent, so it has been removed from the English transcription keyboard. - The phoneme /v/ produced in English for the letter V has no corresponding rune in the Elder Futhark. Previously, the *fehu rune was used to transcribe V, a decision which was based on the fact that in German V can produce the phoneme /f/, the voiceless syllable of /v/. To some using the *wunjō rune is more natural. Now, the key to transcribe V has no primary character anymore but two alternative characters: One is the *fehu rune, the other is the *wunjō rune. - The phoneme /ʒ/ produced in English for the letter G has no corresponding rune in the Elder Futhark. Previously, only the *gebō rune was used to transcribe the letter G which produces /g/ but not /ʒ/. Now, the key to transcribe G has no primary character anymore but two alternative characters: One is the *gebō rune, the other is a sequence of runes which attempt to come as close as possible to /ʒ/. • Transcription de -> Elder Futhark: - The phoneme /v/ produced in German for the letters W and V has no corresponding rune in the Elder Futhark. Previously, the *fehu rune was used to transcribe both of these letters, a decision which was based on the fact that in German V can produce the phoneme /f/ as well as /v/. Now, the keys to transcribe W and V have no primary character anymore but two alternative characters: One is the *fehu rune, the other is the *wunjō rune which produces /w/, both of which are only approximations to /v/. • User Interface: - Visibility of hints was not updated properly. - The position of the key popover was wrong in some situations. - Some parts of the keyboards were not updated when the user interface style changed to dark mode or back from it. - iOS's screen edge pan gesture recognisers interfered with keys near the edges of the screen. NOTES: The Younger Futhark and Anglon-Saxon keyboards are still in development and will be available in the next release.

I design my software following the principle to only collect, process, and store data that is actually needed for the software to serve its purpose. No single bit more than that. In German, the name of this principle is "Datensparsamkeit." A literal translation of this word is "data thrift".
In effect, this means:
• RuneKeys has no user accounts. RuneKeys will not ask you for personal data.
• Data you enter in the RuneKeys app will not leave the app. In case of the provided keyboards, the characters you type will be passed to the operating system which will process them in order, for example, to insert them into a text field.
• No personal data is collected or processed.
• No user tracking of any kind is used.
