In the Windows font encoding scheme, the character at position 216 is what 
Adobe calls an "O-slash". (I don't know if it has a better name in a 
Scandinavian language.) It is emphatically not a zero with a slash through 
it. It is one of my pet education projects to try to get people to 
understand this.
