Unown (Japanese: アンノーン Unknown; German: Icognito; French: Zarbi) is a Psychic-type Pokémon. As of Generation III, Unown has 28 derivative shapes. There are twenty-six English alphabet characters, plus two punctuation marks ? (question mark) and ! (exclamation/bang). That shape is determined by its personality value.

Flavor text

Pokémon Emerald
This Pokémon is shaped like ancient text characters. Although research is ongoing, it is a mystery as to which came first, the ancient writings or the various Unown.

Name origin

Unown's name is a misspelling of the word unknown. Their appearances are corruptions of the modern English alphabet.

Some claim they more closely resemble Celtic runes. Runes are ancient carved inscriptions, and there are many runic alphabets. The shapes of the Unown are used like runes in the Pokémon world, although in Generation III their place has been taken by Braille.
