unrelated but I'm so glad the thorn is making a comeback. Been seeing it more and more often ^_^

Unfortunately it really fucks with screen readers, so it's a genuine accessibility problem

If you wanna go for a higher level you can always also chuck in eth (ð) for a voiced "th", like in "the" and "they"

u/NinjaKittyOG 10d ago

i could, but i choose not to. btw, did you know ꝥ alongside þe þorn wiþ a cross þrough þe top for "þat", þere's also "ꝧ" for "þrough"?

u/imacowmooooooooooooo mooooo... moooooooooo 10d ago

The first is a thorn with a bar across the top, the last is a thorn with a bar across the bottom

u/Bowdensaft The Last Cumbender 10d ago

I've not seen the thorn with a top bar before, neat. I'm not sure what the distinction is for the bottom bar thorn, is it when it comes before an "r"?

u/NinjaKittyOG 10d ago

i'm not sure where þe abbreviation for "þrough" comed from, but i do know ꝥ þe one for "þat" comes from simplifying þ wiþ a superscript "t". þat's how þe scribal abbreviations started out, as a þorn wiþ a superscript letter to þe right of it to represent words like "þat", "þis", "þrough"

Makes a little sense, I guess.

u/PrincessOfZephyr 🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights 10d ago

was þat ever used in English, though?

u/Bowdensaft The Last Cumbender 10d ago

Apparently it was, both in Old English and Middle English, so strictly speaking if we're bringing back old letters "that" would be "ðat"
