We got a Visa here, control number is something like
20funkyo0funkyo3435 so on and so forth

I'm reasonably certain that the O with a line through it is a 0. But alas, I must ask those smarter than I.

It's not an empty set either haah.
 
AFAIK its to differentiate the o's from 0's, and I believe its the 0's that have the lines through them.
 
The number "0" (zero) sometimes has a slash through it.
The letter "o" should never have a slash through it.

So it's probably a zero.
 
Yeah its a zero. Screws with me all the time. We had a domain consoldiation in my office of 250 PCs one time and no one thought to tell our helpdesk to differentiate between a zero and an O when they were jotting down the serials. Had to go back to 125 of the damn machines and get the right serial.

Net admins now write with full shaped letters and numbers like sevens with a slash, 1's with a base like that so they don't look like lower case L's bla bla bla.

The letter "o" should never have a slash through it in English. The Wikipedia link that Ns1 posted clearly states that "Ø" and "ø" are letters in the Danish, Faeroese and Norwegian languages (technically one letter I suppose, just the difference between upper and lower case).

But if you see the 0 with a slash through it in a string of numbers, best to assume it is intended as a zero.
