Slashed zero

Hi, how do I get it back to the below? One of my passwords is saved as this and I can’t type the slashed 0 to get back in.

Hello ~ Hold down the “O” or “o” letter not the number. It will pop up and then without lifting your finger slide to ø or Ø and lift your finger. It takes some practice but easy after a bit. If you use the “0” number it will be °. That is the only way I know to do so on iPhone.

Judging by the text size would you not think that’s a 0 and not an O?

That's not a zero, but a letter o with stroke, used in Danish and Norwegian.

The slashed zero is only available in certain fonts, usually monospaced, like Menlo and Monaco. If the app you are in allows you to choose the font, you can perhaps make it, but otherwise not.

It is a matter of using the right font. When you use a monospaced font, then typing zero will often give you the slashed version. Try it yourself using Monaco.

Thanks but I can't choose these fonts

It is only possible to see a slashed zero on an iPhone in an app where you can choose the Menlo font. The picture I showed you was from the Pages app, so you should be able to do it there too.

A "slashed" zero is exactly the same as a zero as far as characters go. There is no way to enter it separately. It only looks slashed when a particular font is active.

Sometimes people mistake a slashed letter O (Ø) for this. You make that by pressing and holding capital letter O and choosing it from the popup menu.

Yes, I would. But sorry, zero and slashed zero are identical characters. There is no way distinguish them via any input system. If typing zero does not work, there is some other reason for it. Contact the support for the places where your password does not work.

You need to set the font to Menlo, then the zero will be slashed. See below:

And to add to Tom Gewecke’s comment, it's something the original poster said was specifically not of interest.

Hello ~ Only trying to help and obviously I cannot. Perhaps someone else may be able to. Apologies to the OP.

Katana-San: On your iPhone, open the Pages app, try to set font to Monaco, and press zero key and tell us what you get. I cannot test this at the moment.
