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).
