Unicode for a half dim symbol?

Those are actually basic characters with diacritics:

ø = Latin Small Letter O With Stroke = U+00F8
Ø = Latin Capital Letter O With Stroke = U+00D8

Used mainly in Danish and Norwegian languages as the equivalent of ö and Ö = "O umlaut".
Not to be confused with ∅ (Empty Set = U+2205) or ⌀ (Diameter Sign = U+2300).

For diminished chords I usually take the ° character = Degree Sign = U+00B0.
(On the Swiss keyboard layout it's also pretty handy on shift-§ which is just next to the "1" key.)

(Disclosure 1: aside from music, I do graphic design and typography for a living)
(Disclosure 2: my decades old logo/avatar is in fact based/inspired by the Ø character, after I was using the later as my logo for a while; hence my interest in this subject… :)

you can type in the Unicode itself to get a symbol

In Logic? I haven't tried yet, but unlikely as it's definitely outside its scope.

But for instance Affinity Publisher which I'm using for page layout has a "Toggle Unicode" menu command.

Other than that, you can always use the MacOS Character Viewer (Edit > Emoji & Symbols) and search for Unicode hex strings.

Also a very useful app is UnicodeChecker which also adds a few advanced text commands to the global Services menu.
