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. :)
Again, my question pertained to writing such stuff as keypunch forms.
If a stroked-oh is a genuine letter in Scandanvian alphabets, what
do the writers of such forms do to distinguish plain oh from zero?
The answer seems to be that the oh or zero gets a horizontal stroke
through it. Good enough.
