Interesting that the slash in the slashed zero[1] goes from top left to bottom right, as I have always seen it go from top right to bottom left.
I can only guess that this is to differentiate the slashed zero from the slashed O[2] used in Scandinavian.

- Clewza313 6y agoIn Ø the slash goes right through the O, so it's quite distinct visually. (Except maybe to near-blind grannies, so I guess orienting 0 the other way around doesn't hurt.)
- eyelidlessness 6y agoMany fonts don’t make that distinction for that character which is another good reason for the choice.
