What's up with everyone using this "þ" character instead of "th"?

This glyph is so old, it comes from the times the Angles and Saxons actually used runes. The thorn was more edgy back then, too. Just think about why it is called thorn.
Its nice round belly is just a modern interpretation.
Fun Fact: Runes started as literally just the Roman alphabet adapted for carving into wood and stone.
