Ø (ø) is a vowel (bwym) and a letter (jixbuo) used in the Danish, Norwegian languages.
MLT Usage
In Modern Literal Taiwanese, this letter is used for the sound written in POJ and TRS 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 finals ø and iø appear in all seven tones, including øh and iøh.

History in Written Taiwanese
Taiwanese Modern Spelling System originally used an "o" crossed by a backslash. This was replaced by "ø" in Modern Literal Taiwanese. In some cases it is convenient to use "Q" or "0" in place of "ø".
Other uses
Ø, Denmark is a piece of land in the valley of the Nørreå in the eastern part of Jutland, Denmark. Its name means "island" (Danish: ø; Taigie: tøfsu).
