The Norwegian and Danish explanatory symbol (forklaringstegnet) can be typeset using the open o followed by a colon, thus: ɔ:. It is used to mean "namely", "id est", "scilicet" or similar.[3]
This letter is often used to refer to the Copyleft official sign, which looks like an open o with a circle around it.
