As long as its a float, it'll be converted to the simplest form. So 0<br>
is the simplest form of 00. The same would happen with 0.0000. So if<br>
you need 00 in a symbol, you'll need generate it by some other method<br>
first, like sending the list [0 0( to [list2symbol].<br>

If you are using this for MAC addresses or other similar numbers, they<br>
usually consider 0 and 00 the same thing.<br>
