Scroll through ASCII tables, like this one. It's some Icelandic letter, I suppose. =þ

Yup, Icelandic alphabet... It's pronounced as "th" like in "the" for example. þor = Thor and shit ;) þorn is actually the icelandic name of the letter. And apparently it goes way, way back to ancient English -> the reason why there's ye Olde Biblica and stuff is because the fucking Brits didn't have the brain capacity to use the þ-letter, so they used 'y' instead.
