   In a message on Sunday 10-22-16 mark lewis said to Ed Vance:   
      
   Hi Mark,   
      
    EV> I looked for OH0NC at QRZ and a window appeared asking if I wanted to   
    EV> Add that Call to their Database.   
      
   ml> it may not be an O (oh) or a 0 (zero)... my conversion of some   
   ml> LS_ARRL posts has one character, an O (oh) with a forward slash   
   ml> through it that has no ASCII or HIGH ASCII equivalent... i have no   
   ml> clue how to make such a character, either...   
      
   That character is used, to my knowledge only in danish, exists in cp850   
   as char dec 157. The closest you get in cp437 is dec 237 (í), which   
   isn't what you are looking for.   
      
   In my conversion table from Latin-1 to PC8, I replace it with 0 (zero),   
   although in danish text it replaces the letters ™ and ” as used in other   
   european countries.   
      
   There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘, that   
   the conversion program I've made, converts to Ž and „, that are the   
   replacements in other european languages.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
