Or the other direction of the symbol that was used to represent "N" in this coded final line from a 9th century English manuscript.  The line translates to DEO GRATIAS (thanks be to God, using the "move vowels to closest consonant" code for the first two words) and some sort of weird Greek letter/other alphabet substitution for the AMEN.

It was discussed in this blog by Thijs Porck (with no identification of source of glyph).  Maybe someone on the board knows more about the source of the alphabet?
