Again, my question pertained to writing such stuff as keypunch forms. 
 If a stroked-oh is a genuine letter in Scandanvian alphabets, what 
do the writers of such forms do to distinguish plain oh from zero?

The answer seems to be that the oh or zero gets a horizontal stroke 
through it.  Good enough.
