actually, i do on this system which uses the "compose" method...
so i hold a special key and hit the '/' and then the 'o' or 'O' depending
on if i want a lower or upper case one...

lower case oh with slash: ?
upper case oh with slash: ?

that doesn't look like it worked in this editor like it does for other characters :?

hunh! i should have looked closer, then...

yeah, i know...

so, does your callsign really have a zero or the oh with the slash? i found
you, as noted in another post, on the HAMCall world wide call sign site by
using the oh with a slash...

i have no idea what character glyphs those are... all i see here is a tilde
(~) followed by an upper case Y, T, R, Q, N and D (in the order you typed
them above)... in this install, i'm forcing CP437 and UTF-8 characters are
seen as at least two characters and as many as four...
