Wait, there's already a unicode character for it? That was fast.

Ћ Owl & Ћ Pussycat

That just looks weird.

As far as I'm aware they're reusing a Cyrillic character that resembles a t and an h put together.

More a new symbol than a new letter. But if they want to abbreviate "the" I support bringing back Ð/ð ("eth"), which was also used for the initial sound in "these" or "though."

It's a letter. So is &.

But & isn't usually said to be part of the alphabet. Although Wikipedia does say that "some traditions" include it, along with æ and œ. So I suppose it does count in some cases, depending on who you ask.

People are so damn lazy, they would rather type one letter, ass opposed to three? Furthermore, by taking more time to get to it via iPhone?

Believe it or not, and I bet you will not, that statement did not end on a question mark for a reason. It was a statement. A rhetorical question which we expect no-one to answer. :U

Sol when do we get a shortened version of words that actually need shortening. It's a bitch to type supercalifragilisticexpialidocious every time. :U

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious isn't the single most common word in the english language.

No but it needs to be shortened more than the word "the" :U

How long until people use it as part of words?

Like this:

Please no. The word shortening is bad enough already.
