߀
U+07C0 "߀" NKo Digit Zero is a numeric digit used in the NKo script, which is primarily employed for writing the Manding languages of West Africa, such as Maninka, Bambara, and Dyula. Unlike the common Western zero, this character is visually distinct and appears as a small circle with a vertical line through it, serving as the numeral for zero within the NKo number system. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2006 as part of version 5.0, with the NKo block supporting the script's unique typographic and calligraphic traditions.
