A very weird one. Certainly widely used on Usenet (more in Danish/Norwegian than English though), although it looks like it simply means "Æ, Ø, and Å" (rather than meaning "special characters" more generally). The hashtag thing also seems to be accurate (these are the tweets tagged #ÆØÅ), but a) I don't know how we could cite that, and b) a hashtag isn't really dictionary material and I can't find any evidence of it being used as an adjective outside tags.

If you search on the letters in other orders, you get the same kinds of hits on Usenet (though far fewer- maybe it's the standard order). It doesn't look like what's defined. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:07, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The last three letters in both Danish and Norwegian (that is the correct order), and they all come after Z. I don't know whether this entry is useful or not though. Donnanz (talk) 22:16, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
None of the usexes suggest that this has any idiomatic meaning. - -sche (discuss) 20:25, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are some plural forms.
  • You need a Danish keyboard for those ÆØÅs! [1]
  • I've tryed different encodings in the XML file, but none is accepted, but still the æøås are shown as ?. [2]
