ð is Unicode U+00F0, named LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH. It is used in Icelandic and Faroese. See the ð character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

Alt codes only work with the number pad. On a laptop without one, use Win+. or the US-International layout.
If Alt codes type the wrong symbol, add a 0 before the number (Alt+0233 rather than Alt+130).
Some apps, such as remote desktop sessions, block Alt codes. Copy the letter from this page instead.
