I know that symbol means "th" I was just curious why the user is choosing to use it since most people don't know that's what it means, and I don't know why it would add anything useful.
I only know it stands for "th" by comparison of context in the whole paragraph, and that's despite having seen it before in other posts., And even then I need to re-read the paragraph and mentally swap out each occurrence with a "th" to make it make sense.
