What is the symbol for a diminished chord?
The typical symbol for a diminished chord is a small circle (o). “Cdim” is also regularly used, especially by guitarists. The half-diminished chord symbol is very similar to the diminished chord symbol; however, you can tell the difference between the two by a diagonal slash through the small circle (ø).
What key has a diminished?
In major scales, a diminished triad occurs only on the seventh scale degree. For instance, in the key of C, this is a B diminished triad (B, D, F). Since the triad is built on the seventh scale degree, it is also called the leading-tone triad.
