Latin Small Letter Eth ð
Small eth is used in Icelandic and Faroese for the voiced 'th' sound in 'this'. It appears in the middle and end of words like 'maður' (man) and 'bað' (bath). Linguists use it in the IPA for the same sound, and scholars use it in Old English and Old Norse texts.

Good to know
Don’t mix it up: Often confused with đ (U+0111), the small d with stroke used in Croatian and Vietnamese, and with the Greek delta δ (U+03B4).
Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
