Ancient alphabetic character (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rune

'ancient alphabetic character' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rune that I've seen before include "Old alphabet letter" , "Letter of an ancient Germanic alphabet" , "Spell" , "Mysterious character" , "Old Scandinavian letter" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
