A slashed zero ⟨⟩ is a representation of the Arabic digit zero ("0") with a slash through it. This variant zero glyph is often used to distinguish the digit zero from the Latin script letter O anywhere that the distinction needs emphasis, particularly in encoding systems, scientific and engineering applications, computer programming, and telecommunications. It thus helps to differentiate characters that would otherwise be homoglyphs. It was commonly used during the punch card era, when programs were typically written out by hand, to avoid ambiguity when the character was later typed on a card punch.
