About this symbol
Ø is a letter of its own in Danish, Norwegian and Faroese, where Swedish, Finnish and German write ö. It probably grew from the letters o and e written together, though its origin is disputed.
It looks like the diameter sign ⌀ and the empty set ∅, but each is a separate character.
