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.)
