The OpenType features change this. Use either Slashed Zero (zero) or Stylistic Set 3 (ss03). Which feature is available depends on the application you are using.

Are there anyway to build a true type from open type while some feature is enable?

Yes, OpenType Feature Freezer https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer Available as a GUI and as a Python CLI script (pyftfeatfreeze) https://pypi.org/project/opentype-feature-freezer/

I just tested freezing the zero feature into the TTF font using the GUI app and it appears to have worked. There may be some other ways to do this that I am forgetting.
