In the Anglo-Saxon futhorc, it is continued as hægl, and, in the Younger Futhark, as hagall. The corresponding Gothic letter is h, named hagl.
The Elder Futhark letter has two variants, single-barred and double-barred . The double-barred variant is found in continental inscriptions, while Scandinavian inscriptions have exclusively the single-barred variant.
The Anglo-Frisian futhorc in early inscriptions has the Scandinavian single-barred variant. From the 7th century, it is replaced by the continental double-barred variant, the first known instances being found on a Harlingen solidus (ca,. 575–625), and in the Christogram on St Cuthbert's coffin.
Haglaz is recorded in all three rune poems:
| Rune Poem:[1] | English Translation: | |
| Old Norwegian Hagall er kaldastr korna; Kristr skóp hæimenn forna. | Hail is the coldest of grain; Christ created the world of old. | |
| Old Icelandic Hagall er kaldakorn ok krapadrífa ok snáka sótt. | Hail is cold grain and shower of sleet and sickness of serpents. | |
| Anglo-Saxon Hægl bẏþ hƿitust corna; hƿẏrft hit of heofones lẏfte, ƿealcaþ hit ƿindes scura; ƿeorþeþ hit to ƿætere sẏððan. | Hail is the whitest of grain; it is whirled from the vault of heaven and is tossed about by gusts of wind and then it melts into water. |
