- Unfortunately 'rja' doesn't seem to be very familiar with Icelandic or
- these special Icelandic characters.
-
- The only character he (she?) described correctly (at least as I could
- understand it) was uppercase Eth.
-
- This is what they approximately look like in Icelandic:
-
- ETH eth THORN thorn
-
- ---- \ / | |
- | \ \ | |
- | \ / \ |--- |
- --- | _ \ | > |---
- | / / \| |--- | \
- | / | | | | /
- ---- \_/ | |---
- |
- |
- |
-
- For those who don't know which sounds these characters represent, they
- both sound like 'th' in English. 'Eth' as in 'this' and 'thorn' as in
- 'think'.
