Ðey're probably using an Icelandic keyboard. "þ" makes ðe "th" sound from "thorn". Ðere's also "ð" which makes ðe "th" sound from "the".

Þ/þ are called "thorn" and Ð/ð are called "eth".

Ðey used to be in English, but over ðe centuries ðey have fallen out of use. Which is frustrating because we also added "c" which serves no purpose
