Finwe, I believe the characters you are referring to are thorn (looks like a weird p) and esh (, this except with a slash at the top of it... it may not come out right on the Downs). Both are part of the Northumbrian and Mercian writing systems usd in Anglo-Saxon literature and both have a “th” sound to them.
I think these were the characters you were referring to at least.
