Thorn / þorn

Thorn is a letter that was used in old english, old norse, and old swedish. It is currently used as a part of the icelandic alphabet!

þ is pronounced as a voiceless dental fricative, θ("Th" sound) or a voiced dental fricative, ð("Tha" sound.)

Why I like þ are you should too:

• Looks like a mix between b and p, is pronounced like neither(funny)
• Look at it. silly little guy
• the "Th" and "Tha" sounds are nice
• Looks good when used as a replacement for "th" (þe (the) þinking (thinking) þeatre (theatre))
