Rune Writer is an educational and reference app developed by Paul Burlov for iPhone. This unique program allows users to translate Latin letters into various ancient and fictional alphabets. With the ability to use either the default system keyboard or the included rune keyboard, Rune Writer offers a diverse range of alphabets to choose from.

Among the available alphabets are the Elder Futhark Proto-Norse runes, Theban Witches' alphabet used in modern Wicca, Danish younger Futhark runes from the Viking age, Swedish-Norwegian Rök runes from the Viking age, Anglo-Saxon runes, Medieval runes, Aryan Armanic runes, Old Turkic script, Gothic alphabet, Celtic Ogham alphabet, Klingon pIqaD from 'Star Trek', Etruscan alphabet, Ugaritic cuneiform, Phoenician alphabet, and Slavic Glagolitic alphabet.

The output text is UTF encoded, but it's important to note that not all programs can display the translated text copied from Rune Writer, as some may not have the necessary fonts installed. In such cases, users may only see question marks or empty squares. Additionally, not all Latin characters can be directly translated into ancient alphabets, as certain characters may be missing in the target alphabet.

Rune Writer is a valuable tool for those interested in linguistics, history, or simply exploring different writing systems. Its extensive collection of alphabets provides an engaging and educational experience. However, users should be aware that the translated text may not be fully supported by all applications due to font limitations. Overall, Rune Writer is a fascinating app for anyone curious about ancient and fictional alphabets.
