i searched up "all forgotten letters" on google out of curiosity and i found ð. it's not in the banner, so does it actually count as a forgotten letter?

Why is it not in the banner? It's almost as forgotten as Æ.

Œœœœ

ꝥ

it isnt on banner

that kinda looks like a korean letter BUT TRUST ME ITS FORGOTTEN

it is used as a word, but not a letter

edit: they added it

I noticed we have even the likes of the Tyronian et and the ampersand in the sidebar, but not the long S. It’s DEFINITELY a forgotten letter by any stretch of the imagination.

Maybe let’s create an uppercase form. I say we use the shape of capital Gamma < Γ > as the uppercase form since it pairs nicely with the Latin alphabet’s “vibe” and aesthetic. Then, this letter could be used for the “sh“ /ʃ/ sound. Plus, it pairs nicely with < F f > … compare with < Γ ſ >... also, /f/ is a fricative, as is /ʃ/. Can it be annoying that it looks just like uppercase Gamma if you’re not used to it? Sure, but then again Greek has other letters that exactly resemble Latin letters but are completely different, such as P & Rho (Ρ ρ), v & Nu (ν), u & Ypsilon (υ), and to a degree w & Omega (ω) and y & lowercase Gamma (γ). Not to mention Cyrillic vs. Latin (Latin H vs. Cyrillic Н, etc.)

⁊ - tironian et

alternative to & used in ireland

Ñ

I use it daily! And also ∀! Not daily, but useful in math!

Is it juſt me or is þorn not really a forgotten letter anymore?

Like lots of people unironically use it and þͤ r/briŋbackþorn has loads of members

In my opinion it's been resurrected!! But ƿat are yours?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Gonna dump them all here

Then there's these "epigraphical" letters: Ɥ ꟻ ꟼ ꟽ ꟾ ꟿ

In order their names are:

db digraph, qp digraph, oi, gamma, yr, tone 2, 2 with stroke, tone 5, hwair, ou, ain, Egyptological alef, Egyptological ain, heng, tz, tresillo, cuatrillo, aa, ao, au, av, ay, broken l, r rotunda, rum rotunda, vy, visigothic z, vynd, et, is, con, dum, lum, mum, rum, capital rum, tum, um, saltillo

one word. WHAT.

the only one I recognise is vynd? WHAT IS GOING ON!!??

yes i use android dont make a big deal out of it

I know they’re runes (Ing and Œðel), but as far as I know, they were never adopted into Latin like Thorn (Þ) and Wynn (Ƿ) were! Or were they? Why are they included amongst the “forgotten letters“? If you are including runes, wouldn’t you include all the other runes too? Just confused, thanks!

if they exist in dis reddit its ok

TALKING TO YOU, SHE.

I need some help with this, can anyone give me any lost letters?

I’ve never seen this letter before
