Interesting that the slash on the zero character goes in the opposite slant direction than you normally see?
Also, in the middle of that webpage, they show how the shapes in "ER79jr" are slightly different from conventional (they didn't notate it but I assume the yellow background alternate shapes are what are usually seen), but could have used some better explanation why those alternate shapes are confusing.
- an_ko 4y agoI imagine the "backslash" in the zero is intended to make it more distinct from Ø and ø.
- pengstrom 4y agoI assume this is to differentiate with 'Ø'
- silvestrov 4y agoAs an "Ø" language user, the 0-with-backslash is very wrong, it makes my brain say "syntax error". It does definitely not help reading speed. It would be much better using a 0-with-dot. Feels odd to use such a weird variation when there is AFAIK only a single language using Ø and we never have problem with 0 being mistaken for Ø.
