#'
#' @description
#' `runes_table()` returns a data.frame with 3 variable text columns.AX
#'
#' @param futhark which futhark set you'd like, defaults to "elder" and the
#' argument must be a string
#'
#' @param branch if futhark is "younger" then you must also choose whether you
#' would like short or long branch younger futhark
#'
#' @details
#' The data.frame returned by this function returns 3 columns
#' 1. The unicode sequence that represents the rune character.
#' 2. The English a-z characters of the alphabet
#' 3. The rune itself showing how it would also be displayed.
