Ah yes, good old thorn, or as they used to write it, þorn.

Fun fact, the Y in 'Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe' and similar old English is actually a þ. The two letters looked similar when handwritten, so Y was sometimes substituted for the letter thorn in printed works, until it pretty much dropped off the map entirely. The actual sound it represented was much closer to TH, not a Y sound, so eventually people stopped using Y to represent þ, except when they were trying to sound intentionally olde timey.

The more you know .. þorn heehee

I know that! Yeah, it was late and hard to mention the Y or orn thingy, hehe, just wanted to inform you all! But I still think it's a superior letter compared to "t and h"
