Old English scribes crossed a rounded Latin d to write “th”; eth was used by the end of the seventh century. English later switched to th; Icelandic manuscripts from the 13th century include ð.
In English, ð signals Icelandic, historical spelling or phonetics.
As of 2026, a box or blank means missing font support.
