(unicode:Ꝥ) (minuscule: (unicode:ꝥ)), or (unicode:Þ) (thorn) with stroke was a scribal abbreviation common in the Middle Ages. It was used for Old English (unicode:"þæt") (Modern English "that"), as well as Old Norse (unicode:"þor-", the "-þan"/"-ðan" in síðan,〔AM 655, p1 recto, lines 4, 14, & 17 ()〕 "þat", "þæt", and "þess"). In Old English texts, the stroke tended to be more slanted, while in Old Norse texts it was straight.
