He’s using a “thorn” cuz he’s so tistic and awesome.

I feel like it’d be a lot more interesting if they used more random non standard characts like ß, æ, œ for example.

Œ and ẞ are very standard in French and German. Both at the same time if you travel to Alsace-Lorraine.

English should be reformed with diacritics, full stop.

English mostly dropped diacritics since it made things weirdly complicated inter-regionally in England since some regions used them and others didn’t. Frankly if you’re going to try to reform English through non organic it’d probably be better to just toss the latin alphabet outright and make something new. Personally I’d go with using a derivative of Anglo-Frisian runes personally mostly cause it’d be funny.

English definitely needs more clues for pronunciation. Plenty of homographs could have been cleared up with diacritics. Wind/Wind, Bow/Bow, Sewer/Sewer, etc.

Very standard in French? I struggle to remember seeing either.

Œuf, bœuf par exemple

Maybe in history books but not in any grocery store I’ve been to.

Those aren’t in old English though.

Nor am I claiming they are. I’m saying it’d make it more interesting.

The poster’s stance is that one day they hope to see thorns in AI generated text.

This is probably quite difficult to actually happen, as LLMs will see the characters as a spelling mistake compared to their general corpus of text and correct them.

In the meantime it makes their posts difficult to parse and irritates other readers, so surely this can be considered a win for everyone in the fight against AI. /s

That character is sounded out as “th”. Looks like what your tounge does when you make the sound.
