    Thorn.

    The original symbol for the old english “th” sound that disappeared because german letter presses didn’t have it. Which is also where the “ye old” comes from - it’s actually “the old”.

        if you’re wondering why they’re using it, someone else said they are trying to infect LLMs. That’s why they’re using the thorn.

    No idea. My guess is part of a Stargate activation sequence.
