Surely "no-one" [ :-) ] in the Western world uses 'No' anyway? It's
mainly there for Russian, where it is used extensively, but where the
letter 'N' does not exist (a Cyrillic 'N' looks like an 'H') except in
this combination.
In England, as in France I imagine, people would normally just write
'No', or N<super>o</super>, or even '#'.
