runes pl.n.

1. Anything that requires [heavy wizardry] or [black art] to [parse]: core dumps, JCL commands, APL, or code in a language you haven't a clue how to read. Not quite as bad as [line noise], but close. Compare [casting the runes], [Great Runes]. 2. Special display characters (for example, the high-half graphics on an IBM PC). 3. [borderline techspeak] 16-bit characters from the Unicode multilingual character set.
