On here, those look like 3 very distinct characters. :) I'd also add in
?/? the vs the null set. Using ? as a variable would just get
confusing. :)
Don't some Micros~1 or IBM character sets use a
dot in the middle of
a zero?
I think that the IBM VGA font (or a close relative from IBM, whatever
was used in my parent's 286-based IBM PS/1) did.
Also, "Liberation Mono" which I happen to use for my mail reader, seems
to also dot the 0.
