U+A766 "Ꝧ" Latin Capital Letter Thorn with Stroke Through Descender Unicode Character

U+A766 "Ꝧ" Latin Capital Letter Thorn with Stroke Through Descender is a medieval scribal abbreviation used in Old and Middle English manuscripts to represent the word "thorn" or a related syllable, often as a shorthand for "þorn" or similar forms where the letter thorn (Þ) is modified with a stroke through its descender to indicate an abbreviation. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-D block and serves as a typographic variant of the standard thorn, with the stroke signifying the omission of letters, such as in the abbreviation for "through" or "thorough" in historical texts. Its design features a capital thorn (which typically looks like a vertical stem with a loop at the top like a lowercase p) with a distinct diagonal or horizontal stroke crossing the lower descender portion, distinguishing it from the plain thorn and other thorn-derived characters like Ꝥ (Thorn with stroke).
