How do I make a "null sign?"
I am trying to make a "null sign" in Word and cannot figure out how to do it?
I am familiar with inserting symbols but cannot seem to find that particular symbol. |

Answer: How do I make a "null sign?"
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut "Alt+2205" (hold down the Alt key and type "2205" on the numeric keypad) to insert the null sign symbol.

How do I make a "null sign?"
It is a zero with a vertical slash running through it. It is not the capital
O with a slash through it. I found that one. I believe that is a Swedish character. I am looking for the zero which is a more narrow O. Thanks!

How do I make a "null sign?"
Words Equation Editor can insert the "Empty Set" symbol but that is a slashed
captial O rather than a slashed zero. You can also use the Equation Field to overtype a zero with a slash. {EQ \o(0,/)} The curly braces are entered by typing Ctrl+F9. Word puts spaces inside the braces. Delete them unless you want your slashed zero to be followed by a space. Press Alt+F9 to switch from showing the field codes to showing the result. Simon Jones "Simon Jones [MSDL]" wrote: That is just a zero. Whether there is a slash through it or not depends on how the character is rendered in the particular font you use. A font for programmers such as Consolas uses a slashed zero. Most other fonts use ordinary ones. Consolas & Sydnie are the only fonts with slashed zeros on my PC.

By definition a "null sign" does not exist.
There is a symbol which looks like ... N U L ... which is U+2400 (press and hold Alt while you type 9216 - or in recent versions of Word type 2400 and press Alt+X) -- Enjoy, Tony "Simon Jones [MSDL]" schreef in bericht ...

Hi Tony,
The NUL character is from a completely different field, telecommunications (along with characters such as ACK and BEL). While a "null symbol" may not literally exist, there is a symbol for the mathematical concept of a "null set" or "empty set". It's in the Arial Unicode MS font as character 2205. And, contrary to Ed G's statement earlier, it is not a zero with a vertical slash, it's a circle with a diagonal slash. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How do I make a "null sign?"
Hi Jay,
I didn't think of the empty set symbol which is easily got with the Equation editor (in 2007 anyway). I seem to have some sort of problem with the group as I don't see Ed G's reply with that statement ... but ... if I search for messages from Ed G it comes up so now I'm sure you've found the symbol he's after. I don't have time to investigate right now. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" schreef in bericht ...

Type capital O. Mark this character. Then, in the third group of icons (Embellishments) click slash (third icon). This will result in the symbol of empty set. |

Null = empty
This is a programming language. ____________________________________________ JXKJ1987: http://m.jxkj1987.com/en/ Last edited by bessyasuna : November 20th 18 at 06:09 AM |
