Fixed width fonts don't always fix it depending on context. Consider
Your Passcode is: 6234024
Is that an O (oh) or a 0 (zero). It's an Oh. Of course often in a fixed width font the zero has a slash through it but if there's no zero nearby to compare it to most people won't notice.
- jayd16 5y ago>It's an Oh Is it actually a zero or am I missing something?
- anf0 5y agoLooks like a zero to me. Unless it was supposed to be Ø?
- jraph 5y agoIt's a zero, right? Easily verifiable by copy-pasting it in a Python or JavaScript interpreter. It's pretty noticeable with the monospace font that used on my system because O is more like a circle and 0 is thinner. There is no slash, and it is fortunate because it could be mistaken with Ø otherwise.
- jolmg 5y ago> There is no slash, and it is fortunate because it could be mistaken with Ø otherwise. Another option, like on my system, is that zeros have a dot in the middle.
- mro_name 5y agodo you mean the ohs in 'Your' or 'passcode' or are you joking?
