Þere's no "correct" usage, just preferences depending on what you want to achieve.
I prefer to use only Þ because it's more straightforward and þere's no direct downsides to it, whereas wiþ ð þere are a couple different ways and all of þem can be confusing.
Yeah lol, noticed my mistake after posting and Reddit wouldn't let me correct the title. Although if you'd stick with old english two-letter sounds, "when" would probably become "hƿen", as they didn't use wh back then.
Me neither, that’s why I started just using it. I don’t even know if I’m using them correctly (the yogh maybe, but the long s is definitely wrong).
Also it’s kinda a pain to type it on mobile as there’s no button to type them and when you copy-paste them in, iPhone makes the following text be some kind of monospace font, which is why I just don’t use them while on my phone like right now.
On desktop, I set up a custom keyboard layout with all ancient characters I’d ever want (fuck yeah, Linux)
If we're only going to get one letter, have it be þ. Ð can be optional. I guess. Also what symbol should we use for sh or ch? I like long s for sh, but that might be confusing.
tbf ðats kinda ðe whole reason for using Þ (and Ð) Edit part A: Vowel lengþ is also a major reason., but even if it doesn't get its own symbol CH desperately needs to be revamped. It makes a different sound in each of ðe words "champion", "chandelier", and "chemistry".
Edit part B: I initially said ðe T in words like "hopscotch" and "itchy" is unnecessary, but Jamal_Deep made a good point ðat it helps to clarify vowel lengþ.
Þe T in þis case is due to þe short vowel rule, and it actually does help differentiate it from guttural final CH as in loch (Scottish) and Bach (a German name). Initial CH is definitely raþþer confusing þough.
And I disagree, þere are much better reasons for using Þ þan just "digraph bad". Namely þat now þe vowel lengþ rules can apply to it as well.
I þink ſ should remain for normal s and maybe replacing sh and ch with special accents like in Slavic languages (like Croatia), so just maybe putting a line on ðere like ć and ś, because ðat actually works really well in my opinion. I don’t þink a whole new letter should be created, because unlike th, where it’s actually a very different sound, sh and ch are just s and c, but you put your tongue a bit furðer back.
I like to ðe of ðe words <thigh> for þ and <thy> for ð. Ðe only difference in pronunciation between ðese two words is ðat one is voiced and ðe other isn’t.
Oh I guess it’s just wheðer your þroat vibrates while making ðe sound (voiced) or not (unvoiced). And it makes kinda like a hissing sound for the unvoiced
I mostly like <þ> for voiceless and <ð> for voiced, however for stylistic/aesþetic reasons I like to spell certain common words wiþ <þ> even ðo ðey have þe voiced sound: þe, þere, & þat.
Rule 4: Be legible. Oþer people must be able to read and understand what you are saying.

Makes sense, ƿhenrver I uſe ð in a sentence, people tend to confuſe it wiþ o or d becauſe þey don’t even know it exists
Shouldn’t that first word start with an H before the WYNN?

i am slowly slipping away from using ð
Never seen someone use the long s or the yogh before

Disagree on SH and CH needing þeir own symbols. Þe only reason people even suggest þis is because þey don't like þe presence of digraphs.

Brilliant points. I, someone who uses double Þ/Ð in "myþþ" and "oððer", definitely should've þought of ðose, yet here we are.

I like to use <þ> for ðe voiceless /θ/ and <ð> for ðe voiced /ð/
Hoƿ do I differentiate þe voiced and voiceless ones ƿhile ƿritinȝ? Is þere ſome trick, becauſe I find it quite trickȝ
I like to ðe of ðe words <thigh> for þ and <thy> for ð. Ðe only difference in pronunciation between ðese two words is ðat one is voiced and ðe other isn’t.

yes! voicing is wheðer or not your vocal cords vibrate.
You are miſuſing yoȝ ðouȝ
I know, I absolutely am lol. I have no idea how to use them properly and I just use them to replace some letters from time to time
Yoȝ replaces <gh> hƿich uſed to make a /x~ɣ/ ſound. Alðouȝ I have ſeen it ƿiþ an overdot to be a /j/. So you could ſpell it ȝ̇oȝ I ſuppoſe
Hmm, I always just replaced g, y, and gh, with it. But this makes a lot more sense
I mostly like <þ> for voiceless and <ð> for voiced, however for stylistic/aesþetic reasons I like to spell certain common words wiþ <þ> even ðo ðey have þe voiced sound: þe, þere, & þat.
i use þorn for þe th in "þing" (thing), and þe ð in þe th in "ðat" (that), except in the word "þe"
