God invented '0' at the beginning of time, or maybe it was the Arabs 10,000 years ago, and everyone knows what it is.
Some faceless bureaucrat on the ASCII committee invented 48 sometime in the 1970s, and no-one knows and no-one cares.
My point was, as others have said and I think you now know, '0' states the intent precisely, whereas 48, while equivalent, is just deliberately cryptic.
