U+A765 "ꝥ" Latin Small Letter Thorn with Stroke Unicode Character

U+A765 "ꝥ" Latin Small Letter Thorn with Stroke is a medieval and early modern typographic variant of the letter thorn (þ), which itself represents the “th” sound in Old English and other historical languages. The additional horizontal stroke through the ascender of the letter served as a scribal abbreviation, commonly used in Latin and Old English manuscripts to denote shorthand for words such as “that,” “though,” “them,” or “there,” especially in contractions or to save space. This character is part of the Latin Extended-D block and is primarily of interest to scholars studying paleography, historical linguistics, and medieval textual traditions, where it appears in transcribed editions of old documents.
