966: Bluetooth (FUTHARK) Aug 1, 2017

Runic letters, also called FUTHORK, FUTHARK, and FUÞORC, etc (ᚠᚢÞᚨᚱᚲ), are characterized by the straight lines that make up the symbols, in the same way that cuneiform is noted for its triangular marks. This is due to the fact that they were generally carved into stone, beech, and other materials making curved lines harder to create, though it should be noted that the alphabet varied greatly over the many centuries it was used, and by the location in which people were writing. With a few exceptions in some alphabets, such as Icelandic's retention of Þ, Ð, and Æ, these letters are no longer used. Even so, the symbol and name for Bluetooth technology, comes from king Harald Bluetooth whose initials, H.B. were written ᚼᛒ in runic letters, but for the logo, the characters were combined into one. He was famous for uniting parts of Denmark and Norway; now the idea is that Bluetooth unites people technologically.
