Would you take a word and letter from another small population and change the meaning because you felt like it or is this a one off?
The term "fae" (originally "fey") from English meaning fairies or spirits is not related to the Norse "fæ" meaning "livestock" (or, in modern times, a "stupid person")
"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
I.e. an Old English scribe would not have spelled "fey" "fae" because that's a Middle English spelling from French But if he did write the word, he would likely have written it "fæ"
