    Yeah, why didn’t they just go with 0 lines?

      It’s basically what Arabic numerals did.

      “I circled the zero lines here.”

        Holy shit… That means fonts that differentiate Zero from Capital O with a dot or line are technically false…

      Sometimes you need to explicitly state a zero and a blank space could be misconstrued.
