Diagraphic Typing Example

The diagraphic marking is the accentuation of the letter “O”, in cases where the letter “o” can be confused with the number “0”, which happens when there are numbers written before or After the conjunction "o", and in order to differentiate the letter "O", from the number "0" a title or accent is put on the letter "o" when it is a conjunction that joins numbers. It should be noted that in the diagraphic marking the conjunction "Ó" does not change the intonation, for the same reason that it is a tildación to differentiate the "O" from the number "0" in a text. But this does not happen when the conjunction "O" is between words, even when these words represent numbers, using only in cases where there are numbers before or after the conjunction "or" to avoid confusion of the conjunction "O" with the number "0".

 As demonstrated in the following example:

Can I give you 100 or 150 pesos for the errand?

Can I give you a hundred or a hundred and fifty pesos for your errand?

(Differentiating in this other case, in that there should be no diagraphic accent, being only in cases where it finds numbers in which the conjunction "or" can be confused with the number "0".)

Examples of diagraphic marking:
