.... I study Anglo Saxon language, so I have an Icelandic keyboard layout on my iPad, because it has the extra letters needed for typing in Old English. On a computer I use alt-codes to type the letters, or a special font for typing word documents. Old English has extra letters that came from our earlier runic futhorc alphabet. "Æ" is called "ash", "þ" is called "thorn", and "ð" is "eth". The latter two produce the "th" sound (we should have kept them!), and "Æ" is a distinct letter from "A" or "E" (and a different letter than the "æ" used in "Cæsar"). "Æþelwulf" was an Anglo Saxon monarch in the mid 9th century, and I just think the name sounds cool

. It is pronounced somewhat like the name "Ethel" followed by the word "wolf"....
