Latin Small Letter O with Stroke · U+00F8
ø is a distinct letter of the Danish and Norwegian alphabets, not just an o with a decoration. It represents a rounded front vowel, as in Danish sø (lake) and Norwegian øl (beer). In the Danish and Norwegian alphabets it sorts near the end, between æ and å. Its capital form is Ø (U+00D8). Click the tile to copy ø, then paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V (Windows), Cmd+V (Mac) or a long-press → Paste on a phone.

How to type ø
ø is not printed on most English keyboards, but every device hides a shortcut for it. Pick your platform:
Windows
- Turn on Num Lock so the numeric keypad produces digits.
- Hold Alt, type 0248 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt — ø appears at the cursor.
Tip: No numeric keypad? Press Win + . for the emoji panel (Symbols tab), or copy the character straight from this page.
Mac
- Press Control + Command + Space to open the Character Viewer.
- Search for "Latin Small Letter O with Stroke" and double-click it to insert.
Tip: Easier still: press and hold the o key itself and a pop-up offers ø — type the number shown under it.
iPhone & Android
- On an iPhone or iPad, press and hold the o key on the on-screen keyboard.
- A pop-up row of accented versions appears — slide your finger to ø and release.
Tip: The pop-up row comes from the letter’s long-press menu on the iPhone’s English (US) keyboard (iOS 17+); Gboard and other Android keyboards offer similar menus, though the exact set varies.
Copy-paste is a typing method too — every accented form of O copies in one click on the O with accent page, alongside the full typing guides.
