How do you read zeros in abbreviated years? (i.e. ０３年)


I came across `０３年度` and `０９年度`, and while the meaning is clear I didn't know
the actual way of reading it. My first reaction was `ゼロさんねんど`, but I have no
way of checking if that's right. I thought it might also be simply, `さんねんど`,
but again I can't tell.




I think we usually read them as さんねんど, きゅうねんど etc. I've never heard anyone say
ゼロさんねんど or ゼロきゅうねんど. I think we write that way to differentiate （西暦/A.D.）０３年度
from （平成）３年度.
