Well, be it known that there is a slashed O as well, in Nordic 
languages. It exists in the extended ASCII code as well, although not 
eveyone can read it, depending on what codepage was used.

I know that the TrueType font "Terminal" has the slashed zero an in some 
  PSK software you can choose the zero to be slashed or not.
