from the Elder Futhark writing system!

Motivation
Unicode is awesome. However, it can be the source of much pain for programmers. This tool aims to help alleviate said pain by providing a low-level/generic API that allows you to focus on the problem without getting bogged down with UTF-8 and it's cousins.
Project Name
Originally, the name of this project was UTFH8; a tongue-in-cheek word-play on the UTF-8 encoding algorithm and the (very strong) English word, "hate", by using the number eight in place of the letters "a-t-e", insinutating that at some point in every developer's career, they will say – "I hate unicode".
Now, the project has been renamed to Runes, inspired by Go's rune type, and the Elder Futhark – something less harsh & sinister sounding.
