You forgot about ð(eth) which is the “th” from that or father. Also I believe it fell out of favor due to the development of type face for printers and wanting to reduce the number of unique characters.
Which if I’m being honest, thank fuck for that. I couldn’t stand it if English had three different letters for basically the exact same sound, it’s just unnecessarily complicated imo.
That is like saying f and v make the same sound. English doesn’t have enough letters for the number of phonemes, which is one of the reasons it is so difficult to learn.
Why do your 'th’s look like weird 'p’s? Or is that just me?
That’s an archaic character called a thorn. They’re doing a (mildly annoying) bit.
I hate when people fpell funny like that in an old fchool way.
I have seen the diagram of how the latin script transformed into modern writing and S becoming f and then back to S makes no sense to me.
It’s the character thorn, and it was used for “th” sounds before it fell out of use. Some posters have taken to using it for various reasons.

It’s because they have no personality otherwise.
