What is true of it

Cdim7 is C, E♭, G♭ and B♭♭ — 1, b3, b5 and bb7 counted from C.

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

The easiest of the 2 fingerings below is 5320: 3 fingers, held at the 2nd fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

1 of the 2 need a barre.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
