  It's a fucking thorn!

  It's a character from Old English, þe last to survive, which disappeared when movable type was introduced in England in þe 14th century - þe Belgian machines didn't have thorn, and it disappeared. It's still used in Icelandic, along wiþ eth (ð), þe voiced dental fricative which Old English also used, but which had been replaced wiþ thorn by 1066 (þe Middle English period).

      Þe Android keyboard I'm using included it as a pop-up alt character by default; I didn't have to do anyþing.

      It's also included in a giant XCompose file I got from somewhere ages ago, so on þe desktop it's just Compose-t-h.

      I'm far too lazy to have put any real effort into it.

    And here I've been using an upside down y like an amateur, instead of finding the real thorn
