U+00DE "Þ" Latin Capital Letter Thorn Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+00DE "Þ" Latin Capital Letter Thorn is a letter used primarily in the Old English and modern Icelandic alphabets, where it represents the voiced dental fricative sound, like the "th" in the English word "the." It originated from the runic alphabet, specifically the rune named "þurisaz," and was adopted into the Latin script during the medieval period in England. In modern usage, Thorn remains an active part of Icelandic orthography and is occasionally encountered in archaic or stylized English contexts, such as in the pseudo-old-fashioned spelling "Ye" for "the," where the "Y" actually derives from a misrendered printed form of the thorn character.
