In a message on Wednesday 10-24-16 mark lewis said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good morning Mark,   
      
    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   
      
   I really haven't noticed that, but it will go unnoticed by me, since the   
   Latin-1 to PC8 conversion, takes care of that as 0 (zero).   
      
   ml> actually, i do on this system which uses the "compose" method... so   
   ml> i hold a special key and hit the '/' and then the 'o' or 'O'   
   ml> depending on if i want a lower or upper case one...   
      
   ml> lower case oh with slash: ?   
   ml> upper case oh with slash: ?   
      
   Lower case with slash is simply the danish ” (o with 2 dots on top),   
   nothing else.   
      
   Upper case with slash is in reality the danish ™ (O with dots on top),   
   but is wrongly used in other countries as a 0 (zero).   
      
   ml> so, does your callsign really have a zero or the oh with the slash?   
   ml> i found you, as noted in another post, on the HAMCall world wide   
   ml> call sign site by using the oh with a slash...   
      
   My call sign has a 0 (zero) as middle character, but I have myself fallen   
   into the trap of using the danish ™, as zero. The use of it is a world   
   wide phenomen in ham radio.   
      
   In the Finnish army's signal corps we were taught to use underscore   
   below the O (oh), to make it a zero, when copying by hand.   
      
    HG> There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘,   
    HG> that the conversion program I've made, converts to Ž and „, .....   
      
   ml> i have no idea what character glyphs those are... all i see here is   
   ml> a tilde (~) followed by an upper case Y, T, R, Q, N and D (in the   
   ml> order you typed them above)... in this install, i'm forcing CP437   
   ml> and UTF-8 characters are seen as at least two characters and as many   
   ml> as four...   
      
   They are character codes dec146 and dec145 in the cp437.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
