It is well-known that a unimodal map $f$ has a unique metric attractor that is either an attracting periodic orbit, the union of $n$ open intervals that are cyclically permuted by $f$, or a Cantor set. A Cantor attractor that arises from a non-infinitely renormalizable map is called an absorbing Cantor set or a wild attractor. We present a symbolic construction that can be used to generate the kneading sequences for a family of unimodal maps with embedded strange odometers and wild attractors. This is joint work with Jernej Činč.
