David,

I have to think about this. Originally I did not want slashed zeroes at all, but I received multiple requests to put a slash in the ASCII zero, so I did. Then of course I got flamed for doing it.

A slashed zero can be important in program listings to distinguish between the ASCII forms of zero and the letter 'O'. But I don't know that I want to extend that everywhere. For example, if used in a subscript sequence such as "a0, a1, a2,..., an", the context will make it clear.

I definitely would not want to change the Tonal CSUR digit for zero (U+E8E0, called "noll"), which you did not list, because Tonal's creator was very specific about those shapes.

Thank you,

Paul Hardy

Since U+0030 DIGIT ZERO has a diagonal stroke, it seems appropriate to give diagonal strokes to characters derived from it.
