Took me a while to understand it too. Seems most people use the small letter O for the persons head: o7
I am not sure which looks better, but I think it depends on the Font. I wonder if it looks better in Comics Sans
o7 O7 07 <-- Small letter O, Large Letter O, and the Number Zero, which looks to me more like a Head. Unless your head is a perfect circle.

Seriously, I was just handed a business card from a Private Accountant last week. It was in Comic Sans. I laughed, and he asked me what was so funny. I didn't have the heart to tell this guy who probably spent more time with his face in books than in sunshine to get his accreditation, why I was laughing.
