There is a nifty little site on the web, which lets you point and click and
hear brief sound files of the IPA phonetic symbols. Go here, click on
Vowels, and then you can listen to the ø sound. (assuming you have Real
Player, or some other means of playing sound files)

RE:Work-Werk-W[ue..]rk
I don't think that anyone would like to see a
transliteration of
skjótøx since ø does not correspond with any letter -
or group of
letters - in the English language. Also, English, the spelling
of
which being obfuscated beyond the comprehension of mortal man, does
not offer us much opportunity for non-ambiguous representations of
words that, we would like to think, have very specific pronunciation.
