Hi,

The fonts already support slashed zero via the font feature 'zero'.  This is superior for most purposes, because it simply presents the character differently, rather than inserting an auxiliary character.

I have not found any mention in the Unicode Standard of making a slashed zero with a combining mark, although it seems sort of reasonable.

In fact, most of the faces in the font already supported this.  I put the positioning anchor on the couple that didn't already have it.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

The Wikipedia article “Slashed zero” refered some different type of zero with combined character. They are 0̸ and 0̷ for slashed zero and 0⃓ for vertical trace of dotted zero. I found they’ re works with FreeSans Regular, FreeSerif Bold and FreeMono Regular only.
