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.

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 (talkcontribs) 16:40, 25 May 2006.
