Is it an O or 0-an O or a zero?

Other than trying one or the other until it works when logging  a TB retrieval is there a way to identify a letter on a tag? Not really that big a deal, just wondering.

 

 

I found a cache yesterday with the TB on it and retrieved it.  I logged the find on my iPhone and the setting was set to Draft, not my intent. I went to log the TB and kept getting a tracking number error. I tried using the letter O and a zero but neither worked. I used my computer at home to log the cache, taking it off Draft.  

 

I had to play with the TB log before it finally accepted the tracking number. Would being a draft log have any affect on logging a TB?

The codes used for geocaches and trackables use the digits, plus all the letters except for a few that are easily confused for digits. So when in doubt, it's a digit: 0 (zero), not O (oh); 5 (five), not S (ess); 1 (one), not I (aye); and so on.

Not necessarily so. I have one trackable that has both a 0 and an O in the code.  Please feel free to look it up (no bogus logs, please).    COHJ10
