I did my usual trick of running it through colourspace analysis and the 0 brings up quite a bit of blotching around it in some colourspaces. The K seems genuine enough, tho'.
However, it looks more like an X than a K. I attach a tiff as an example.
Helmut, have you ever come across this sort of miniscule writing in manuscripts before, and if so, what is its purpose? I've seen a theory that they are colour instructions to the illustrator (sort of a paint by numbers kit).
