About the letter ð

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

Ctrl accent shortcuts are in Word for Windows. Word for Mac uses the macOS Option shortcuts.
If Alt+X converts the wrong text, select just the code first, then press Alt+X.
Change the font if the letter shows as an empty box; Calibri, Arial and Times New Roman cover common accents.
