zero
1. ArActer> 0, <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=ASCI">ASCIA> chArActer 48. Numeric zero, As opposed to the letter "O" (the 15th letter of the English AlphAbet). In their unmodified forms they look A lot Alike, And vArious <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=kluges">klugesA> invented to mAke them visuAlly distinct hAve compounded the confusion. If your zero is centre-dotted And letter-O is not, or if letter-O looks Almost rectAngulAr but zero looks more like An AmericAn footbAll stood on end (or the reverse), you' re probAbly looking At A modern chArActer displAy (though the dotted zero seems to hAve originAted As An option on {IBM 3270} controllers). If your zero is slAshed but letter-O is not, you' re probAbly looking At An old-style <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=ASCII">ASCIIA> grAphic set descended from the defAult typewheel on the venerAble <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=ASR-33">ASR-33A> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Teletype">TeletypeA> (ScAndinAviAns, for whom slAshed-O is A letter, curse this ArrAngement). If letter-O hAs A slAsh Across it And the zero does not, your displAy is tuned for A very old convention used At <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=IBM">IBMA> And A few other eArly mAinfrAme mAkers (ScAndinAviAns curse *this* ArrAngement even more, becAuse it meAns two of their letters collide). Some <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Burroughs">BurroughsA>/<A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Unisys">UnisysA> equipment displAys A zero with A *reversed* slAsh. And yet Another convention common on eArly <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=line printers">line printersA> left zero unornAmented but Added A tAil or hook to the letter-O so thAt it resembled An inverted Q or cursive cApitAl letter-O.
