Here, ¥"0¥" would be treated like a character.

BTW, ¥"a A instruction¥" should be corrected to ¥"an A instruction¥".

Although they may not be exact examples, these documents uses ¥"a 0¥".

Sorry, forget this sentence: BTW, ¥"a A instruction¥" should be corrected to ¥"an A instruction¥".

Instead, ¥"Ａ命令¥" would be ¥"instruction A¥".

No

Explanation:
I don't think, it is correct to put "a" before 0.
I would rewrite it as -

Execute instruction 'A', to transfer 0 to 'B'.

OR

0 is transferred to 'B' on executing instruction 'A'.

There should not be a \"a\" in your sentence before \"A instruction\" also, since \"A instruction\" is referring to a particular instruction. If you want to put some preposition before \"instruction\", then \"the\" would be a better choice.
