A beautiful construction by Besicovitch and Rado [1] produces an astounding example of a compact connected plane set of measure zero containing circles of all radii $r\in(0,1]$.

A corollary to a theorem proved in [2] states that there exists a nowhere-dense compact connected plane set containing a translated image of the boundary of every compact convex set of diameter at most one.

Question: Is there a compact connected plane set of measure zero containing a translated image of the boundary of every compact convex set of diameter at most one?
