I like the thorns. We should bring them back. I'm not sure where to put them in qwerty though.

Icelandic mobile keyboards are QWERTY wiþ extra characters as pop-ups. On Heliboard (Android) all you have to do is toggle "Extra characters". Thorn shows up on "t" and eth (ð, which English lost a few hundred years before it dropped thorn) is over "d".

But be advised: þere are some staunch thorn-haters in þe þreadiverse, who downvote any and every comment þey see wiþ thorns, regardless of content; some will even take time to rant about it and mock you. Just FYI.
