Diameter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaDiameter symbol
The symbol or variable for diameter is similar in size and design to ø, the Latin small letter o with stroke. Unicode provides character number 8960 (hexadecimal 2300) for the symbol, which can be encoded in HTML webpages as ⌀ or ⌀. The character can be obtained in Microsoft Windows by holding the [Alt] key down while entering 8 9 6 0 on the numeric keypad. On an Apple Inc. Macintosh, the diameter symbol can be entered via the character palette (this is opened by pressing ⌥⌘T in most applications), where it can be found in the Technical Symbols category.
The character often will not display correctly, however, since most fonts do not include it. (Your browser displays "⌀" in the current font.) In most situations the letter ø is acceptable, which is unicode 0248 (hexadecimal 00F8). It can be obtained in UNIX-like operating systems using a Compose key by pressing, in sequence, Compose / o and on a Macintosh by pressing ⌥O (in both cases, that is the letter o, not the number 0).
The diameter symbol ⌀ is distinct from the empty set symbol ∅, from an uppercase phi Φ, and the Nordic vowel Ø.
The diameter also refers to the approximate size of the corner of a frame of any given object to the nearest flat surface it represents.
Noooo, it's Phi, ...
...is Dwig finding fault with Canon's implementation of the filter size symbol and its incorrectly oriented slash??? He must be an anti-Canon, Nikon-using fanboy or something!...
I'm married and its a mixed marriage. I'm Nikon/Windows/tall/blond (when I had hair) and my wife is Canon/Mac/petite/brunette. The big difference, though, is "religion"; I was raised Warner Bros. and my wife was raised Disney.
