j/k.
But really. In set theory, Ø, is quite literally lack of a number, and it is defined as {} by designation.
Somehow, you haven't explained how zero isn't nothing, though... are you considering it a difference of 'zero ____ is not a complete absence of things, only the absence of ____ thing(s), whereas nothingness is the void of any non-nothing things'?
When I was thirteen, I used that Ø symbol in a lot of character names
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
