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.

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.
