It's a "thorn" and that's what it's for. Used to be very common hundreds of years ago.
Let the record reflect that that is NOT how it's used. The thorn is voiceless, and EVERY SINGLE CASE here in the TLC is voiced (as in the 'the' in 'the'). As such, they should ACTUALLY be using the letter 'eth': ð
This represents the voiced dental fricative.
So that's what it was for and not is I suppose, because I do not know that this is still being used. You go though.
