how do I make this letter?: ð

Personally, I'd use the Character Palette to "Insert with Font", as not all fonts will have that glyph (character). Of course, if you need it very often, that's not very practical.

Perhaps others will have a better way of doing it.

This should help:

In HTML you'd use ð or you would use the HTML Number Code ð (the semicolon at the end is part of the code in both instances).

…all of which kind of makes the Chracter Palette method I suggested above a bit more appealing after all. 😀

Are you really using OS 9? If so, that is pre-Unicode and you may need special instructions.

If you are using OS X, you can get ð by switching to the US Extended keyboard layout and using alt/option + d.

Indeed I use OS 9.2, so if anyone can gif me special instructions to make this letter i'll be thankfull for that

Some ideas:

Go the Apple menu and activate KeyCaps. Hit the option key and then option + shift keys to see if your character is available.

Look at the Keyboard Control Panel to see if there is a US Extended or Icelandic available (probably not).

Try to find an old copy of PopChar on the internet which works with OS 9 (version 1.5 or earlier maybe).

PS Were you able to solve this problem? After further research I concluded it might not be possible unless you can find an Icelandic language kit from 10 years ago.

You really should upgrade to OS X to avoid such problems. Any non-English text you produce with OS 9 uses encodings which probably nobody can read these days.
