Ah, welcome! The character (þ) you see there is the thorn. It makes a 'th' sound, so 'þem' would be commonly read as 'them'.

Cool. What languages? If you don’t mind my asking…

I'd say old (maybe middle) English? It comes to us from the raids and interaction with the Norse around the turn of the last millenium, as best I understand (very little).
