Fdim7

F1A♭♭3C♭♭5E♭♭♭♭7

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

What is true of it

Fdim7 is F, A♭, C♭ and E♭♭ — 1, b3, b5 and bb7 counted from F.

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

The easiest of the 1 fingering below is abab: 3 fingers, one of them barring the 10th fret, held at the 10th 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.

The brass dots are F, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

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.
