   Hi Ed,   
      
    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   
    ml> that does not exist in english...   
      
   EV> looked at what ALT 216 and ALT 248 in a COMMAND Prompt looked like.   
      
   EV> ALT 248 looked to me like a Degree Sign, I have no idea what the   
   EV> other Symbol meant.   
      
   The ALT 216 is a graphic symbol in CP437, in Latin-1 it represents the   
   slashed O, representing the danish LETTER O (oh) with two dots on top.   
      
    EV> I believe when I Search for someone or log on to the site, they are   
    EV> using CP437. But I'm in the U.S.A., a person outside the U.S.A. may   
    EV> see their web site displaying the Code Page for their locale.   
      
   When you use Windows, use the number zero, because the QRZ database is   
   apparently built on Latin-1 or something similar.   
      
   BTW, I haven't yet updated any info on OH0NC in QRZ.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,
