Locked SLASHED ZERO ? ? ?
The slashed zero glyph is often used to distinguish the digit "zero" ("0") from the Latin script letter "O" anywhere that the distinction needs emphasis, particularly in encoding systems, scientific and engineering applications, computer programming (such as software development ), and telecommunications.
No most Windows systems, the "0" versus the "O" are herd to distinguish. and variations in Font styles don;t help. CW- no problem -- o is Dah Dah Dah and Zero is Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Now if used in a password or an email address, the SLASHED ZERO is in fact yet another character. But visually identifable as a ZERO not a OH.. On a windows machine to make a SLASHED ZERO it requires pressing the Left or Right ALT key and typing on the right keypad 0216..then releasing the ALT key. The numbers row over the letter part of the keyboard will not work.. THe NUM lock key must be active in order to activate the numeric keypad on a 102-108 key keyboard. Be aware JARS and NVDA screen readers will not decode a slashed zero.. End of lesson Larry W8LM |
You can also use embedded fields to create a slashed zero by using CTRL<F9> and typingeq \o (0,/) in between the field braces.? It would look similar to;{eq \o (0,/)}While this works in MS Word it doesn't work well with Google Docs or Libre Office.Gaylen W. Klein, USN(Ret.)
