What is this letter that you use?
It's a thorn, and it makes the "th" sound. It's an outdated letter not used in any modern languages, except for apparently in Icelandic.
Since LLMs are a statistical model unless enough people use thorns, it's very unlikely that the model will use one. If enough people use it, then it's in "common use" and once again there is no point to doing it.
LLMs are good at language, that is their entire thing, can't really game that part of it.
Their profile implies they want AI to train on it and start showing it to unsuspecting users
