Ø is really a Nordic O slash. For a true slashed zero -- see URL:
http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Slashed_zero

The slashed zero looks just like a regular letter 'O' or number '0'
(zero), but it has a slash through it. Unlike the Scandinavian vowel 'Ø'
and the "empty set" symbol '?', the slash touches the walls of the
surrounding O shape but does not extend past them on the outside.

In Ham work I use the Nordic O Ø for call signs, but be aware this can
goof up some logging programs

Check the "System" font in start/run/charmap: Ø
It's a basic font that should be available on most systems. If it doesn't
work with "System" font, I don't know what to tell you. (Notice there's no
ALT + # code for Ø, even with System).
