What means
For logos and computer artwork.
The European character set for the Sharp MZ-700, a home computer released in 1982, included outlined versions of regular digits and capital letters. Its built-in character memory stored their pixel patterns, and the extra forms let creators make display lettering alongside plain text.

Digit Zero
Plain ASCII digit zero. The outlined form is a separate styled character and will not match a normal 0 in search or copying.
Latin Capital Letter O
Its shape is nearly the same as zero in many fonts, and the two are different characters.
Cyrillic Capital Letter O
Cyrillic capital O, identical in shape to Latin O; a homoglyph used in spoofed words and addresses.
０
Fullwidth Digit Zero
Fullwidth digit zero, a wide form that copies as a different character from both the outlined digit and plain 0.
Questions people ask
1Will NFKC change the outlined zero?
Yes. NFKC is a compatibility form of text normalization: it maps this styled digit to plain 0. The zero remains, but the outlined appearance is lost.
