I’m talking only about “fæ”. That is the word that we are discussing
It's not an act of appropriation because it wasn't taken from Danish, it's a coincidence
"Fae" is a nonstandard spelling of "fey", as the fancy spelling "faerie" comes from the French "faierie" ("fay-erie", with "-erie" a suffix meaning "a general category associated with", like "-ery" in modern English) Therefore the digraph "æ" is technically incorrect
However, this is not a big deal Back when digraph ligatures were common in English, scribes would use them whenever it was convenient for the sake of writing, and which ones have survived as "correct" ligatures and which ones haven't is a matter of historical accident
