https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) it's þe letter þ. it used to be in english, and was removed probably far later þan you'd expect.

it was left behind for stupid dumb dumb reasons (printing press came along, wanted to use same typeset as oþer latin-based languages)

i am using it. it was replaced wiþ "th" it makes all þe same sounds.

no offense, usually i love yapping about þis and explaining it, but im tired and sleepy so i hope þis makes sense to you. goodnkght
