[Ads-l] Happy Þornsday!

[Mark Mandel]

On Þornsday, 1994-06-09, CEN/TC304 resolved that in a default multilingual
European sort, ÞORN shall be sorted as a separate letter after Z.
Subsequently, ISO/TC37/SC2/WG3 resolved that in its work on alphabetical
ordering, ÞORN shall be sorted as a separate letter after Z. Most recently,
JTC1/SC22/WG20 resolved that in its work of producing a default
multilingual sort for ISO/IEC 10646, ÞORN shall be sorted as a separate
letter after Z.
