Deprecation notice:

This library has been discontinued in favor of Riimut. It contains same functionality for all main runic dialects. This library will also remain available in NPM and should keep working just fine.

Usage

You can either transform runes to text, or text to runes.

Latin text to runes:

import { lettersToRunes } from 'futhorc'

// From 8th century Franks Casket, in late West Saxon.
const result = lettersToRunes('fisc.flodu.ahofonferg | enberig |')

console.log(result) // ᚠᛁᛋᚳ.ᚠᛚᚩᛞᚢ.ᚪᚻᚩᚠᚩᚾᚠᛖᚱᚷ:|:ᛖᚾᛒᛖᚱᛁᚷ:|

Runes to latin text:

import { runesToLetters } from 'futhorc'

const result = runesToLetters('ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ')

console.log(result) // fuþorc
