I have a quote from "The Owl and the Nightingale" up as a warning on my Links page. There you'll see a "thorn" which I fabricated (because obviously it wasn't available in the font I used) and a "yogh" which looks suspiciously like the number 3. I chose this font because its 3 looked right. Sorry, no "eth" because it wasn't used in the quotation. But if you can get ahold of a parallel or "bilingual" edition of Beowulf (the acclaimed Seamus Heaney version with the Old English on the left-hand page and the modern translation on the right can be easily found at most bookstores and libraries) there's a lovely "eth" in the second word of the third line of the Old English. The second line begins with a "thorn."
