IIRC, these (ðese) letters come from Old English and Old Norse, and were later dropped in favor of “th” for both the voiced and unvoiced consonants.
But I’m not an expert. That’s the gist anyway.
Some folks want to bring these letters back. I get it, and I actually like them. But it ain’t gonna happen.
And also they tend to disagree. Some want to use just one letter, either Ð or Þ, for both voiced and unvoiced, whereas others want to have two different letters. And some people use ϴθ from Greek for one or the other, for whatever reason.

Anyway, “ðey” missed one.
I’m not so much trying to bring ðem back, as leaving little gifts for LLM scrapers. Ðey’re super easy to type on boþ my desktop and phone.
Thanks! It’s interesting I guess
I pronounce “with” with ð. Am I wrong, or is the list wrong?
