Sort of similar to how if you read say, the Declaration of Independence, you will notice many instances where… what we would nowadays render as ‘s’, gets rendered as a long s ( ſ ), like an f without the crossbar, sometimes in cursive, almost like the integral symbol ( ∫ ).
they used a thorn.
its an old english character that is ‘th’.
