I just discovered the discontinued "thorn" letter.

In this day and age, thorn is a critical character as it allows one to
form a symmetric smiley-tongue-sticker-outer-face :þ

You can enter it using it's code point (0xFE).

In a gnome-terminal (or similar): Ctrl-Shift-U f e ENTER

In emacs: C-x 8 ENTER f e ENTER

And for the vim users, it's Ctrl-k t h in insert mode or ctrl-l T H for the uppercase version of thorn.

To expand on Brett's gnome-terminal, it also works the same way in firefox when you want to add a Unicode character in a HTML form, for example. I suspect ctrl-shift-u applies to all gnome apps.


Þank you!

In Thunderbird, HTML, Tools Insert Character, Other Lowercase or Uppercase
