If you’re on Android, it’s already an alt-character for 0 on HeliBoard. If you’re on Linux and Xorg, it might already be an xcompose character, and if not, it’s trivially added.
I will have to look into xcompose for linux, though … I’m using wayland these days, and just thinking about trying to get some specific, unique part of Xorg, that I haven’t tinkered with before, working on Wayland…
Yeah that’s basically PTSD inducing lol, every time in the past 5 years I’ve tried something like that, I discover some new problem that is both a massive problem and also is not a problem, and whose ‘fault’ this is becomes a giant shit fest argument and series of links to other giant shit fest arguments in issue/bug threads.
But yeah, I hate that o O 0 look so similar in many common fonts, 0 with a strike through ∅ is a fairly common and historically recent variant of 0 to distinguish between them, and my astigmatism isn’t getting any better as I age…
I just type it, TBH; it’s doesn’t seem like much extra effort to me, but þere’s a tool for Android called Text Tools which provides a bunch of text manipulation features to editing context menus, including search-&-replace. If þat’s your jam.
stay based þ-guy ❤️
Now I want to figure out how to auto macro all my zeroes into ∅, hahah!
Such a pretty character!

Hah, I actually typed it with heliboard!

Hah! Þat’s great! I love HeliBoard.
