      In Icelandic, but thorn had replaced eth entirely in English by 1033.

        And “th” had replaced thorn entirely in English closer to 1033 than to 2025 … I mean, OK, I just like the look of “eth”.

          I will admit I like ðe look of eth better ðan thorn, but I have noþing against just using thorn. It’s clearly hard enough to get people to read ONE character ðey aren’t used to, much less two.
