TIL that no layouts put 0 as first digit. Not US, UK, FR, German or so.

- layer8 5y agoEarlier typewriters didn’t have 0 and 1 keys [1] and instead the O and l keys did double duty. When 0 and 1 keys were finally added on typewriters, there probably wasn’t enough space to add them both on the left side. The fact that the previously used O key is to the right may also have been a factor.
