| '''{{TTS2|Ø|Qf}}'''/'''ø''' (Q7; 荷; lotus/water lily) | | '''Ø''' ({{w|ø}}) is a vowel ([[bwym]]) and a letter ([[jixbuo]]) used in the [[Tanbeh-guo|Danish]], [[Log'uy-guo|Norwegian]] languages. |

|
| == LETTER O WITH STROKE ==
| | {{MLT Alphabet}} |
| 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, "[[Qe|øe]]" is usually substituted with "oe".

| | [[Category:Lømafji]] |
| *ø (Unicode U+00F8, HTML: <tt>&oslash;</tt>, or <tt>&#248;</tt>) and '''Ø''' (U+00D8, <tt>&Oslash;</tt> <tt>&#216;</tt>)
| |
| *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.
| |
| | |
| 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.

| ==History in Written Taiwanese==
| |
| [[Taiwanese Modern Spelling System]] originally prescribed two special characters: the Greek letter [[wikt:Ν|Ν]] (nu) 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]].

| 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; [[tøfsu]] in Taigie) and probably comes from the island-like approach to this piece of land, although it is completely landlocked and surrounded by meadows.
