With a difference, eth is for hard and thorn for voiced — eth in 'the'
and thorn in 'with', for example.

It is standard UTF-8. You probably refer to wynn, the proper English
w instead of the double v ligature currently in usage, and the ſs
ligature currently used as eszett in German.
Probably some mail server garbled them, or your mail client doesn't
implement the standard — I see you use MS Outlook Express, check? MS
isn't known for standards compliance, rather for 'standards' setting,
