Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 4,792 Send Message	Bev..... 0 with a angular line through it is zero. an Omega is an 0 with a little gap at the bottom and what looks like an L on either side of the gap with the foot of the L pointing opposite ways. sorry cant draw it for you on here and the alt codes do not work on here either. If you look on the alt codes it is number 234.

	If it helps at all the O with a line vertically is the letter in the Greek and Russian alphabets which are the same sound as our F. Sue

	the O with slash through it is military..........when writing ZERO to distinguish it from O letter O
