I have seen some fonts that have a dot inside the Zero Number.

I will have to look the next time I visit qrz.com to see what the Number
Zero looks like, iirc it is a plain old Zero, not dot nor slash.

I believe when I Search for someone or log on to the site, they are using
CP437.
But I'm in the U.S.A., a person outside the U.S.A. may see their web site
displaying the Code Page for their locale.

After I mailed the Novice Test to the F.C.C., I knew that they were
giving out new Call Sign in the 4th District beginning with the letter Z
after the 4, I was really wanting KN4ZON for my Call Sign but got KN4ZIQ
instead.

ZON to me meant Zero Ought Nothing.

After a few months I thought up Zero Intelligence Quotient for my new Call.

Suits Me.
