Thorn again, Christian?

I even more impetously wrote: I was thinking of lowercase thorn, silly me. Uppercase thorn is indeed a "d" with a line through it - but a capital "D". So I was sort of right. A bit.

Actually I'm still wrong, as Mark Millman politely pointed out to me in a private e-mail. The character I was thinking of is actually capital eth. It looks like Ð, if you have the same character set as me, whereas capital thorn is: Þ. The character mantis was describing is actually a lowercase eth, ð, and not a thorn as Mark and I initially thought. Apologies for any confusion caused.

I think Croatian has a similar looking character - I don't know how it is pronounced, though. (For those with a different character set, the capital eth looks like a capital D with a small horizontal line through the vertical line on the left side.) Derek
