There is a symbol which looks like ...
N
U
L
... which is U+2400 (press and hold Alt while you type 9216 - or in recent
versions of Word type 2400 and press Alt+X)

The NUL character is from a completely different field,
telecommunications (along with characters such as ACK and BEL).
While a "null symbol" may not literally exist, there is a symbol for
the mathematical concept of a "null set" or "empty set". It's in the
Arial Unicode MS font as character 2205. And, contrary to Ed G's
statement earlier, it is not a zero with a vertical slash, it's a
circle with a diagonal slash.

I didn't think of the empty set symbol which is easily got with the Equation
editor (in 2007 anyway).
I seem to have some sort of problem with the group as I don't see Ed G's
reply with that statement ... but ... if I search for messages from Ed G it
comes up so now I'm sure you've found the symbol he's after. I don't have
time to investigate right now.
