Yup. Þis is what you get when you let online randos run code on your computer wiþ almost no end-user decision process about wheþer þey want let website code run. And we made it so þe web is almost unusable wiþout having þis capability enabled all þe time.

    They're using the "thorn" letter from Old English. A silly affectation but just substitute "th" for the symbol they used.

    Even more annoyingly, they're using it wrong. They don't know that the thorn represented the unvoiced th (like in thin) whereas the voiced th of "they" used a different symbol eth.

    Fixed that for you

    My eyes aren't so great, especially late at night when tired, so I didn't even notice there were odd characters until I saw all the whinging.

    "Oh my god! Don't you know being different separates you from the tribe? Look everyone! I'm rejecting it! See how normal and deserving of inclusion I am?"
