<upd_detl>* Add alt form ϕ
* Add note on usage for diameter mark.
Saw on drain filter package (incorrectly: as 70ϕ instead of correct ⌀70 (wrong char, used as suffix)).
(I’ve never noticed this in the US, but I suspect it’s used relatively frequently in Japan, hence rather confusing.)
Ideally we’d have a separate entry for ⌀ (and point to that) but this is a poorly-supported character, so it feels safest to put it in a [note].</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Add “ø” (Scandinavian letter) for clarity, as it has much wider font support.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I suspect much of this will not get into EDICt2 (and hence WWWJDIC) as it has non-JIS characters. I'll come back to it if needs be.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>ϕ and ⌀ are being deleted as they are not JIS. The note looks a bit odd in WWWJDIC, but it's not a problem.</upd_detl>
