An old Harry Potter Tile - Christian Maglekær - 2023-04-04
Is it possible to get this one made?
3069pb0079 Tile 1 x 2 with Groove with Elder Futhark Runes Logogram (LEGO) Pattern
You will be amazed at what bricks you will find used in older building instructions from the LEGO Club sometimes.
RE: An old Harry Potter Tile - Rene Rechthaler - 2023-04-04
The instructions arent very good, unfortunately, maybe someone has that part for a scan...
But the BL description is kind of wrong (when based on HP), elder futhark was only used in scandinavia and germania, while in England they used the newer anglo-friesian futhark (futhork).
Futhark is included in the unicode (is all unicode supported on the PT?), it says on the Tile:
ᛚᛖᚷᛟ (LEGO)
at the top (and rotated at the bottom) it says:
ᛚᛖᚷ ᚷᛟᛞᛏ ᛈᛚᚨᛃ ᚹᛖᛚᛚ (LEG GODT PLAJ WELL, "Y" didnt exist back then)
the orange thing is just a 2x2 brick...
These runes are often associated with Vikings and other fantasy things based on them like dwarves (for example: tolkiens cirth, used on Balins tombstone or Bilbos map).
These straight lines are easy to carve into stone (like other line-based scripts like cuneiform).
