'Eth' and 'thorn' are letter names in Icelandic? That's interesting: they are in Anglo-Saxon too.

For anyone interested: <http://briem.ismennt.is/2/2.1a/2.1.1.thorn.and.eth.htm>

Also <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9E>

Why mention the Wikipedia entry? Well, apart from being informative, it uses the thorn - apparently a real thorn - in its URL. Shows up nicely here on a Mac ;-)
Sadly, Wikipedia's URL for eth just uses 'eth'.
