B♭dim7

B♭1D♭♭3F♭♭5A♭♭♭♭7

Three minor thirds stacked. The seventh is doubly diminished, which is why it is written with a double flat.

Written the other way round it is A♯dim7 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

B♭dim7 is B♭, D♭, F♭ and A♭♭ — 1, b3, b5 and bb7 counted from B♭.

A♭♭ is a double flat, and it has to be: every letter from B♭ upwards is used once, so the bb7 cannot be written any other way.
