If your zero is centre-dotted and letter-O is not, or if letter-O looks almost rectangular but zero looks more like an American football stood on end (or the reverse), you're probably looking at a modern character display (though the dotted zero seems to have originated as an option on IBM 3270 controllers).
If your zero is slashed but letter-O is not, you're probably looking at an old-style ASCII graphic set descended from the default typewheel[?] on the venerable ASR-33 Teletype[?] (Scandinavians, for whom Ø is a letter, curse this arrangement).

Zero, a major character in the novel Holes by Louis Sachar.
