Lol I'm old enough I used that character rather than a P for tongue sticking out emoticon (some alt + 4? numbers on an America keyboard unsure if same on others),but learned it's intended sound years later.

I always thought it was a cool character for th sound, but went out of style many moons ago. Thorn is the name I believe.

Thorn sounds very fitting!
