ok... just note that the ones i linked above are not dotted or slashed
zeros... they are a completely different letter of that alphabet... one
that does not exist in english...

when i tried searching QRZ using the slashed O (oh not zero), their site
was dumping on me and causing firefox to abort with a notice that the site
was using an unknown compression method... when i looked for just a plain O
(oh), their site worked but found nothing... then it wouldn't let me search
for holger's name unless i was logged in... oh well, there's other sites
available ;)

FWIW: i just also searched the ARRL site and they could not find that
callsign at all... then i went by the HAMCall World-Wide site and they had
no trouble finding it at all...

http://hamcall.net/call?callsign=OH%D8NC

it is the O (oh) with a slash through it but the sad/wrong part is that
when they display it beside holger's name, they use a zero instead of what
it actually is... yeah, i zoomed in on it to see specifically what they are
using...

FWIW2: the last time someone searched this callsign on HAMCall was 21 Mar
2016 and that was the 37th search for that callsign...

it should also be noted that code pages are no longer used... character
sets are used today and most web sites are using ISO-8859-1 or similar or
they are using UTF-8... the whole mishmash has changed under us...
