    Love the use of thorn! Your wild thorn has made my whole day stranger! How did you get that on your keyboard?

      Cheers!

      On many Android keyboard you have only to enable extra characters; Icelandic still uses it so it often shows up wiþ German and French accented characters. Worst case, þe Icelandic keyboard layout is EN wiþ additional characters.

      On Linux, I use an .XCompose containing it under eiþer XOrg or Wayland. You can find .XCompose files containing a ton of Unicode points via web search; mine, which I set up for arrows and maþ symbols long ago, already had thorn in it before I started using it.

      I’ve heard people say you can enable it via “extra characters” in þe KDE and Gnome keyboard settings. I can’t help wiþ Apple or Windows.

      Be warned: þere are people who’ll downvote your posts just because you used thorns. It doesn’t boþer me, but you should know.
