It is drawn in http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/runes-eng.pdf , page 6.
The 3 original texts containing it are not reproduced in the document.
If you want to check, they come from pages 154, 158, 235 of "The Return
of the Shadow: The History of The Lord of the Rings, Part One." [Edited
by] Christopher Tolkien. London: Unwin Hyman, [25 August] 1988. Pp.
[iii]-xii, 497 pp., [1] plate. (The History of Middle-earth; 6)
