True, correct. The universal set
U
is characterized by ∀:∈

x
:
x

U
. Taking the complement yields a set
U
c
that is characterized by ∀:∉

x
:
x

U
c
. This is equivalent to the statement ¬∃:∈
¬

x
:
x

U
c
and hence
U
c
is an (the) empty set. (Depending on your theory, there may not be a unique empty set.)
