Unown (Japanese: アンノーン Unknown) is a Psychic-type Pokémon. As of Generation III, Unown has 28 derivative shapes. There are 26 English alphabet characters, plus two punctuation marks: ? (question mark) and ! (exclamation/bang). That shape is determined by its personality value.

In the anime
The Unown play a large role in the third movie, creating the illusions which drive the plot.
Notes about Unown can be seen on Professor Oak's computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here:
- Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world.
- Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings).
- Unown communicate with each other over electric waves but cannot use telepathy.
- Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature.
Oddly enough, also on Professor Oak's computer appear several Unown of shapes not yet encountered.

Other appearances
Super Smash Brothers Melee
When one Unown is released from a Pokéball it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm of Unown moving in a random direction. Any opponent caught in this is is damaged and juggled.
There are also a number of Unown Pokéfloats. In the second half of the cycle, a number fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown.

Origin
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.
Name origin
Unown's name is a misspelling of the word unknown. Its German name is a corrpution of incognito, one who has their identity concealed. Their appearances are corruptions of the modern Latin alphabet.
