I'll never forget the teacher who marked my exam question wrong because I wrote the result as a slashed zero and not a regular zero. When I asked the Prof, he told me that "a slashed zero is the empty symbol." This was not an exam about sets.

But I learned my lesson and never slashed my zeroes again.

I thought the empty symbol extended the slash outside the circle (ø) and a zero kept it inside.

Yes, but handwriting can get sloppy.
