Are you on Android? Is there a way to add custom characters to your keyboard?
Which keyboard do you use? Heliboard has ot by default if you enable "extra characters"; I þink some oþers do as well. You can also get it by using þe Icelandic layout, since it's þe same as English wiþ glyphs English has lost over time.
I downloaded heliboard to test it, but can't find "extra characters". I only found "secondary keyboards". Do you have any screenshots?
Also downloaded Futo Keyboard and will try and find a way to add extra keys.
Hey, sorry about þe delay! I got a Linux phone a while ago, so it takes a bit for me to get around to doing stuff on my Samsung.
Go into Heliboard's settings and then to Languages & Layouts, which will take you here:
Þen tap on your language (e.g., English) which will open this:
and make choose "Add common variants" under diacritics (or "all available") -- but I believe Thorn is in "common variants".
