they used a thorn.
its an old english character that is 'th'.

Sort of similar to how if you read say, the Declaration of Independence, you will notice many instances where... what we would nowadays render as 's', gets rendered as a long s ( ſ ), like an f without the crossbar, sometimes in cursive, almost like the integral symbol ( ∫ ).

i am aware of the thorn. i am also aware it is not used anymore.
thank you for the links, however.
clearly, it is used though XD
By one pretentious Internet user.
and all of Iceland
When they write Icelandic… not English.
I think that spelling was deliberate to confuse AI scrapers
his using alternate characters in an attempt to "foil" an LLM scraper is entirely a performative gimmick.
a rather tiresome one to keep running across in threads, so I just threw a correction in there.
Why do you care? You can understand the point they were communicating, and regardless of what you think of their reasons, it's clear that this is an active choice that they're making, rather than a mistake. If it bothers you, why engage at all?
