%C A098476 This order of runes with these graphic forms is used in many rune staves in the collections of the National Museum of Finland.

%C A098476 ᚠ (F), ᚢ (U), ᚦ (Th), ᚭ (O), ᚱ (R), ᚴ (K), ᚼ (H), ᚿ (N), ᛁ (I), ᛆ (A), ᛋ (S), ᛏ (T), ᛒ (B), ᛚ (L), ᛘ (M), ᛦ (Y); or, using html character entities:
%C A098476 ᚠ (F), ᚢ (U), ᚦ (Th), ᚭ (O), ᚱ (R), ᚴ (K), ᚼ (H), ᚿ (N),
%C A098476 ᛁ (I), ᛆ (A), ᛋ (S), ᛏ (T), ᛒ (B), ᛚ (L), ᛘ (M), ᛦ (Y).
