A diminished triad is 1-b3-b5 - a minor chord with a lowered fifth.
Most of the time, people play fully-diminished sevenths when a chord symbol of º is used. A fully-diminished seventh is 1-b3-b5-bb7 (double-flatted 7th, the same tone as 6). The advantage to doing this is that there are only three diminished seventh chords... any note in the chord can be the root, since they're evenly spaced - that's called a 'symmetrical' chord.
The easiest fingering for a fully-diminished 7th is this (which would be Bbº7, Dbº, Eº7, or Gº7):
