-*'''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>)
+* In {{w|macOS}}, hold the {{w|option key}} while pressing o (or O).
-*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.
+* On Microsoft Windows:
-*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.
+** Alt-0248: hold Alt and press 0248 on the '''keypad'''

-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.
+* In {{w|Unicode}}, '''ø''' is U+00F8 and '''Ø''' is U+00D8.
+* In HTML, {{w|named character reference}} ({{w|numeric character reference}}):
-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.

+* In {{w|ISO 8859-1}}, the letter ø is hex number F8.
+* It is not in the [[ASCII]] seven-bit character set.
+* It is not in the big5 [http://ash.jp/code/cn/big5tbl.htm code table]. A possible workaround might be to use a Greek letter encoded in big5 (range 0xA344 to 0xA373).
