þis one

Holy shit did that character break my brain for a second.

What character is that, this is confusing me.

Thorn.

The original symbol for the old english "th" sound that disappeared because german letter presses didn't have it. Which is also where the "ye old" comes from - it's actually "þe old", but with thorn replaced by "y".
