That's the most logical explanation. Also runes don't play a part in
the story, which I expect would be so if they would have any meaning
for the plot. We also don't know how runes are used in the WW.
Definitely not for divination, nor in any other modern WW spellcasting
or charmwork. Then again, it is ancient magic, and the runes are an
ancient kind of alphabet. I still think it is far-fetched though, and
the main reasons the scar is shaped as it is, is that the shape
indicates there is something about it, instead of it being an ordinary
scar, and that it is a figurative description which is easy for the
reader to depict. 

But if we want to speculate about the scar as a rune (which is fun), I
think it important we use the right rune.
