I think it is just the font. I just opened the above page with
Chrome and futzed the text from '0' to '0123456789' to see how it
look. That round thing is consistent with how other digits are
rendered.

(which IIUC is out of date) has an unformatted 0.

I've just had a look at how it formats when the zero is back-tick
quoted s /ASCII 0/ASCII `0`/ and it looks OK with both Chromium and
Firefox on my hack Ubuntu laptop - the character is colourised and
full sized, and the --man page output looks unchanged and clearly a
zero.
my hacky attempt at an in-line patch (squash in?) below:
You'd need a matching change to 34 in the same document to preserve
the consistency the original patch sought, though ;-)
Not that I think such a change makes much sense.
If there was a way to force use of a font whose numerals and I/O are
more clearly distinguishable and we do so for all HTML documents we
generate, that would be a good change that is not limited to these
places, though.
I've generated a patch for the 'git status --help' that can act as a
reference. (to follow)
For me it's only those pages that have a lone zero that cause problems
due to lack of context. It'll still be a slow burner problem as lone
zeros are spotted.
