== MLT Usage ==
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), [[øar]] (oyster), [[ørgiøo]] (jelly fig), and [[Ørtoaxlixaf]] (Australia) are all written with ø. To reduce the need for ø, "[[øe]]" is usually substituted with "oe".

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.
