A mediavalist PhD dissertation slice of life:

torrain: "Look, it's got a thorn and an eth. It really should have a yogh!"

Me: "That's what she said!"

Sounds about right-and looking through, I can't find a unicode for yogh, which is annoying, I actually know someone with that in their name afterall...

Seriously. How do you get thorns and not yoghs? (She said, grumblingly marking their absences...)

[thornae.livejournal.com]

I believe it's because Icelandic still uses thorns and eths, but not yoghs.

- from a non-PhD medievalist.



ETA: My word. http://ang.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%9C

That would make sense, but... really, when it's the printer choking and dying on the yoghs, as opposed to the font or the PDF, I still blink.

(Quite neat! Thank you.)
