'''ø''' (Unicode U+00F8, HTML: <tt>&amp;oslash;</tt>, or <tt>&amp;#248;</tt>) and '''Ø''' (U+00D8, <tt>&amp;Oslash;</tt> <tt>&amp;#216;</tt>)
'''Ø''' ({{w|ø}}) is a vowel ([[bwym]]) and a letter ([[jixbuo]]) used in the [[Tanbeh-gie|Danish]], [[Log'uy-gie|Norwegian]] languages.


In [[Modern Literal Taiwanese]], this letter may be used for the sound written in [[TMSS]] as an o with a backslash. For example, [[hør]] (good), [[Qar|øar]] (oyster), [[QrgiQo|ørgiøo]] (jelly fig), and [[Ørtoaxlixaf]] (Australia) are all written with ø. To reduce the need for ø, "øe" is usually substituted with "oe".
== MLT Usage ==
In [[Modern Literal Taiwanese]], this letter is used for the sound written in [[POJ]] and [[TL]] as a plain ''o'', and spoken variously as [o], [ɤ], [ə]. For example, [[hør]] (good), [[øar]] (oyster), [[ørgiøo]] (jelly fig), and [[Ørciw]] (Australia) are all written with ''ø''. The [[MLT final]]s ''{{x|ø}}'' and ''{{x|iø}}'' appear in all seven tones, including ''{{x|øh}}'' and ''{{x|iøh}}''.


==Computer Input==
The digraph ''[[øe]]'' can be used for unified spelling across dialects.
*In MS Word and EmEditor, the ø can be typed with the following keystroke: ^/o (Ctrl+Slash+o). This means hold Ctrl press Slash, release, then press o.
*In Mozilla Firefox with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/459 abcTajpu] plugin, one can input this by typing o, /, then Insert.
*On Microsoft Windows, using the "United States-International" keyboard setting, it can be typed by holding down the "Alt-Gr" (right Alt) key and pressing "L".
*It can be input on Mac by holding the "Option" key while pressing o (or O).


One disadvantage to using ø is that it is not included in the ASCII seven-bit character set. However, it is in the ISO 8859-1 eight-bit character set as hex number F8. In Unicode it is also F8 but in UTF-8, it is encoded as hex C3B8.
== Computers ==
* {{w|macOS}}: {{w|option key}} and o
* {{w|iOS}}: hold down o to see options
* Microsoft Windows:
** Alt-0248: hold Alt and input 0248 on the '''keypad'''
** using the "United States-International" keyboard setting, it can be typed by holding down the "Alt-Gr" (right Alt) key and pressing "L"
* MS Word: Ctrl / together, then press o


ø is also not within the [http://ash.jp/code/cn/big5tbl.htm big5 code table]. However, the Greek letters are encoded in big5 (range 0xA344 to 0xA373); a Greek letter could be used instead.
* {{w|Unicode}}, '''Ø''' is U+00D8 and '''ø''' is U+00F8
* HTML {{w|named character reference}} ({{w|numeric character reference}}):
** <tt>&amp;Oslash;</tt> (<tt>&amp;#216;</tt>)
** <tt>&amp;oslash;</tt> (<tt>&amp;#248;</tt>)


==History in Written Taiwanese==
==History in Written Taiwanese==
[[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek letter [[Nu|Nu (letter)]] and an o crossed by a backslash. In [[MLT|Modern Literal Taiwanese]], ø came into use.


[[Modern Taiwanese Language]] (MTL) uses [[Q]] in place of [[ø]]. Usually the Q is made smaller font size. However, "html small" formatting makes the word incompatible with [[FireDictionary]].
[[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] originally used an "o" crossed by a backslash. This was replaced by "ø" in [[MLT|Modern Literal Taiwanese]]. In some cases it is convenient to use "[[Q]]" or "0" in place of "ø".


The "Ø" (minuscule: "ø") is a vowel and a letter used in the Danish, Faeroese and Norwegian languages.
== Other uses ==
* {{w|Ø, Denmark}} is a piece of land in the valley of the Nørreå in the eastern part of Jutland, Denmark. Its name means "island".


Ø is a piece of land in the valley of the Nørreå in the eastern part of Jutland, Denmark. Its name means island (ø in Danish language) and probably comes from the island-like approach to this piece of land, although it is completely landlocked and surrounded by meadows.
