I think those symbols in the main image is Runes.

I noticed that, too. ᛓ, ᚹ or ᚦ, ᚨ, ᚱ

You never diaaapoint me

Wow, how did you type the runes characters?

I typed as unicode entities (& # x 1 6 D 3 ; without the spaces becomes ᛓ)

I see. Thanks for sharing the info.

Don't know if I'm on the right track, but the runic characters ᛓ, ᚨ, P (with vertical line sticking out) , ᚱ seem to translate to "f""a""th""r" in English.

But what does the 3 and ? refer to?

BTW, this is another good website on runes. http://lindaursin.net/library/welcome/runes/cipher-runes/

On the #steemitcryptochallenge chat, Tim said (ha! pun not intended) that the runes stand for numbers. I was trying to use them as letters, too.

Thanks for the tips, jfollas. So maybe the "3" is a hint that the runes stand for numbers? On this rune website, the rune symbols are paired with numbers. ᛓ = 1,ᚨ=4, ᚹ=3, ᚱ=5. If we look at the placement of the symbols, ᛓ+ᚹ=ᚨ (1+3=4), and if symmetry holds, then "?"=ᚱ=5?

Not bad
