No, it was Oersted (the magnetic field strenghth unit and famous Danish
physicist / Earth magnetic field satellite mission). A physical unit
just like Å. 

IIRC the reason for including these was to allow people with
non-danish/scand keyboards to type physics manuscripts easily
(like, how would you do this on a USASCII keyboard?)

Typing values + units in text mode is your choice and OK with me, I prefer
mathed (is either of these "formally correct"?). But consider adding 
Oersted/Ångström shortcuts to text mode then.
