How do you make a Danish o in LaTeX?

Thanks,

Jim

Exactly which "Danish o" are you talking about? The long open o-sound
that's written as an a with a circle on top? That's generated by the
control sequence \aa (or \AA for uppercase). Or the "slashed" o that's
pronounced pretty much like the German/Swedish \"o? That's \o or \O. As
far as I know, any other o you will find in Danish texts is just a plain
old o, nothing specifically Danish about it.

Interesting. In Norwegian the 27th letter of the alphabet is \ae, in
Swedish it is \aa. If it is \o in Danish that certainly makes the
confusion complete :-)

I guess Morten was confused. (ר=oe={\o}) is the 28th letter. The
danish alphabet is a ... xyzזרו (the last three might not come though
due to high 8th bit in latin1, but in latex {\ae}{\o}{\aa})

Enough

Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm sorry for the confusion I caused:
I meant the 27th--er--28th letter, although I didn't know I meant that
when I asked the question.
