Ah ... the modern era ... so many disadvantages.

In the era of punched cards, we had no problem making the distinction
... the holes were in different places - zero had its own "row" - and
the letter O was the combination of a "zone" punch (top rows) and a 6
(6th row) punch in the same column.  And there was none of that annoying
confusion between upper and lower case - everything looked "CAPITAL" !

It would have been so much easier to have mailed (remember the Post
Office?) you all each a deck of cards to read this message !

The "slashed zero" [ALT+0216] is really not a numeral but a diacritical
character (modified O, similar to �) used in some European languages.
Some programs do not recognize it.
