Ø is a Scandinavian vowel letter. The twenty-eighth letter of the Norwegian alphabet.
Null sign
In mathematics, the null sign (∅) denotes the empty set. Note that a null set is not necessarily an empty set. Common notations for the empty set include "{}", "∅", and "$\emptyset$". The latter two symbols were introduced by the Bourbaki group (specifically André Weil) in 1939, inspired by the letter Ø in the Danish and Norwegian alphabets (and not related in any way to the Greek letter Φ) |
