They were invented long ago—long before keyboards, but the terminally-online folks here forgot that pen & paper also happened before & folks writing English used all sorts of symbols, such as þͤ for “the”. But I guess if it doesn’t fit on ANSI keyboards invented for typewriters 100 years ago with 100-year-ago limitation, these symbols cannot possible exist in contemporary times lol.
