   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.
