By all means use th to represent þ (thorn) - that is what we Icelanders (who
are as far as I know the only ones who still use this letter) always do when
translating Icelandic texts into other languages, or using our names
abroad - if you meet an Icelander called Thor Thordarson, his name is really
Þór Þórðarson, only he can´t really use it outside his homeland ...
