Talk:Slashed zero

Does the slashed zero as such have a Unicode character? If so, why not include it in the article? -- Adam78 17:04, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The slashed zero is just a typographic variation of a "regular" zero. In other words, it depends on the font.

Its funny, now that you mention it, Ive never been able to find the slashed 0 in the unicode character set. I was going to ask if this was somebody's stupid joke, writing an article about a character without using it a single time. If someone could tell me wheres there's a true slashed 0 (not a foriegn character like Ø or θ) in unicode, I'd be very interested. It seems like a strange omission.

Hello, did you not read the above or the article? It doesn't show up in unicode, and it's not a separate character, it's just the zero. 172.151.113.138 22:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oblong not oval

0 is oblong not oval. O is also oblong, just with a shorter mid-section than 0. Elliptical is a round object with 2 focal points. Oval can be elliptical but not necessarily. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.205.48.191 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 25 May 2006.

Current use?

Does anyone think that there should be a bit on the use of the slashed 0 in/on the built-in font on TI calculators, such as the slashed 0 in the TI-83 family and the dotted 0 in most(?) of the Motorola 68k calculators? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cogburnd02 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The slash

The paragraph said that the slash does not extend past them on the outside of ‘0’, but I think many handwritings do so. -✉ Hello World! 15:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Visa Control Number?

Does anybody notice that in the control number of a US visa, you can observe both non-slashed zeros and slashed zeros. What's the purpose of those slashed-zeros? Are they really character "O"s?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.173.6.110 (talk) 19:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
