I'm guessing they want to bring the Thorn(?) in to common use?

Its usually mostly used as a phonetic symbol for the "th" sound.

For me, it's a tongue out

Yeah, I didn't like it at first, but then I remembered that I already think English is a bad language on the spelling side of things and that would reduce ambiguity, so now I support it, at least in spirit. Though the problems with English are way deeper than "th" not having its own symbol.
