Runic Alphabet

Overview
Beginning in Ultima V, the Ultima games often use the above alphabet for many of the in-game signs, books, etc. Decyphering it is actually half the fun. The Runic Alphabet is especially present in Ultima V and Ultima VI, less so in Ultima VII and Ultima VII/2. By Ultima IX the powers at EA decided that players couldn't be "bothered" with translating.

It is based on the Germanic / Norse runic alphabet.

Note that Q is missing. Q has it's own symbol, but it's on the chart above.
