hello everyone
My name is Gyrid and I'm from northern Norway. After playing quizzes on funtriva.com for some months I decided to join the forum.

I love reading(mostly fantasy/sci-fi and comics), singing, tramping, space, taekwondo/aikido and of course doing quizzes.

Hello Gyrid, I think you're our first member with a new letter in their screen name, and I wrote a thread about them myself (though not including yours).
I am now a lot more familiar with a character map, though I expect Scandinavian keyboards will have all the letters directly. I've got as far as Denmark and Sweden long ago, which were very nice, but not made it to Norway.

Welcome to Funtrivia!

I don't consider it a new letter since I've used it my whole life

Glad you made those points froya (sorry I can't use the proper o...) as you reminded me of an update to the extra letters thread, which I just added here.
There's another one nearby where I wrote the whole thread using them, if I can find it.

And from me, I didn't pass you over, I didn't realise you didn't have your own new thread, just force of habit. But welcome from me late than never!
