Huh, this is the first I heard of this. So, Thunar rune in English. Nifty.

Seems a bit odd to me, but I understand the idea.

OTOH, using this in typed correspondence would actualally make it harder to type for native English speakers as we’d have to insert special characters. This would require either a mouse menu interaction or a Unicode entry and a program that can translate that to the right glyph.
