Is there a shorthand for an indicator function of a positive integer?

Is there a convenient shorthand for an "indicator function" of a positive integer n which vanishes if n is odd and is equal to 1 otherwise? I was thinking about something like

$$\mathbb{1}_{\{\mathrm{mod}(n,2)=0\}}(n),$$
but I'm not sure if this would be considered acceptable mathematical notation.

What about
$$\frac{(-1)^n+ 1}{2}$$

(1 + (-1)ⁿ)/2 ?

δ(sin(nπ)) ?
