The following table lists the names used to search for Old and Middle English characters.
| Character | Name | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| Insular g (upper-case) | Asg | |
| Insular g (lower-case) | asg | |
| edh (upper-case) | Edh | Ð |
| edh (lower-case) | edh | ð |
| thorn (upper-case) | Th | Þ |
| thorn (lower-case) | th | þ |
| wynn (upper-case) | Wyn | |
| wynn (lower-case) | wyn | |
| yogh (upper-case) | Ygh | |
| yogh (lower-case) | ygh | |
Note that some of these ligatures may also be accented, in which
case the name of the character should be extended by the name of
the accent(s), as in searching for accented
roman characters. For example, þ with a bar through it
(
) is called #thbar#.
