This question has
to do with differentiating 0 with ?.? It happens our Ham radio
group and our government issued license is for? W?VFW (VFW post
3115 Amateur Radio Club 1st and oldest VFW post sponsored Ham
Radio Club in the USA) Yes, it's a Zero but displayed not to
confuse it with an "O". Been that was since dirt. started with
telegraph operators to distinguish ZERO from OH.
Since our Yahoo group inception Feb 6, 2012 we have been relegated
to use the group name W0VFW as yahoo didn't like ?. Even our
license plates have ?.
I am owner of the group on Yahoo and we will be moving to
groups.io shortly.... Can we call our group W?VFW or will be
nothing but trouble. Most hams if they use their call in a email
address use 0 and lament they shoul dof used ? if everone knew the
magic to make one.
How will groups.io handle it?
Quick lesson to type a ? - Hold the Left ALT key and type 0214 on
the right keypad..? Some ham redefine their keyboard. so "0" over
the "P" is "?" as keyboards have 2 0's.
Advise...?
A more general form of this question:
"Is unicode permitted in group names?"
Best,
Glenn
