I am fantasising what if Nothing OS has Slashed Zero (Ø) in its font, rather than regular 0.
It thus helps to distinguish characters between 0 (zero) and ‘O’. also visually this looks cool.
This is also used in charting and documenting in the medical and healthcare fields to avoid confusion with the letter “O”. It also denotes an absence of something (similar to the usage of an “empty set” character), such as a sign or a symptom.

Display of zero in three typefaces, from top to bottom: slashed zero, dotted zero, plain or open zero.
