# ᚱᚢᚾᛁᚠᛃ (runify)
## Description
Converts text between Latin characters and Futhark runes. Supports both Elder Futhark (24 runes) and Younger Futhark (16 runes) systems.
You can even pipe it through lolcat for color
## Features
- **Multiple rune systems**: Elder Futhark and Younger Futhark
- **Phonetic mode**: Automatically converts digraphs like "th" → ᚦ, "ng" → ᛜ
- **Non-phonetic mode**: Letter-by-letter conversion when needed
## Usage
```sh
# Latin to Elder Futhark
echo "hello world" | runify -s elder
# Output: ᚺᛖᛚᛚᛟ ᚹᛟᚱᛚᛞ
# Younger Futhark (default)
echo "viking" | runify
# Output: ᚢᛁᚴᛁᚾᚴ
# Phonetic mode (default) - digraphs become single runes
echo "thing" | runify -s elder
# Output: ᚦᛁᛜ (th and ng as single runes)
# Non-phonetic mode - each letter becomes its own rune
echo "thing" | runify -s elder --no-phonetic
# Output: ᛏᚺᛁᚾᚷ (t-h-i-n-g as separate runes)
```
