    ml> ok... just note that the ones i linked above are not dotted or slashed   
    ml> zeros... they are a completely different letter of that alphabet... one

   I used a calculator to convert the Hex numbers to Decimal and looked at   
   what ALT 216 and ALT 248 in a COMMAND Prompt looked like.   
      
   ALT 248 looked to me like a Degree Sign, I have no idea what the other   
   Symbol meant.   
      
   BTW I hadn't looked at the QRZ.COM page, but I see below that You have.   
      
    EV> I believe when I Search for someone or log on to the site, they are

    ml> when i tried searching QRZ using the slashed O (oh not zero), their

    ml> just a plain O (oh), their site worked but found nothing... then it   
    ml> wouldn't let me search for holger's name unless i was logged in... oh   
    ml> well, there's other sites available ;)   
      
    ml> FWIW: i just also searched the ARRL site and they could not find that   
    ml> callsign at all... then i went by the HAMCall World-Wide site and they   
    ml> had no trouble finding it at all...   
      
    ml> http://hamcall.net/call?callsign=OH%D8NC   
      
   I never used that website B4, Thanks!   
      
    ml> it is the O (oh) with a slash through it but the sad/wrong part is that   
    ml> when they display it beside holger's name, they use a zero instead of   
    ml> what it actually is... yeah, i zoomed in on it to see specifically what   
    ml> they are using...   
      
   I will use the Print Scr Key a lot of times and Paste it in IraFanview so   
   I can enlarge it to see what a tiny character looks like.   
      
    ml> FWIW2: the last time someone searched this callsign on HAMCall was 21   
    ml> Mar 2016 and that was the 37th search for that callsign...   
      
    ml> it should also be noted that code pages are no longer used... character

    ml> or they are using UTF-8... the whole mishmash has changed under us...   
      
   Thanks for EDucating ED about CP vs ISO/UTF-8.
