There are fonts with this type of character, but they're not that easy to
come by. You can create a struck-through zero using the EQ field with the \o
(overstrike) switch. The field construction you want is { EQ \o (0,/)}. Note
that you need to delete the last space from the field (between the
parenthesis and the closing field delimiter) or you'll have an extra space
after the zero. Once you've constructed the character, save it as an
AutoText entry. Also, don't count on it to behave correctly in mathematical
calculations.
