U+1B50 "᭐" Balinese Digit Zero Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1B50 "᭐" Balinese Digit Zero is a numerical symbol used within the Balinese script, which is an abugida employed to write the Balinese language spoken on the island of Bali in Indonesia. This character represents the numerical value of zero and is part of a set of digits that are integral to traditional Balinese numerals, which are still used in certain cultural, religious, and ceremonial contexts such as on lontar palm-leaf manuscripts and calendrical inscriptions. Visually, the glyph is distinct from the Latin digit "0" and features a decorative, curvilinear design characteristic of the script's aesthetic, often appearing in a block rather than a cursive form in modern digital typography. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for the digital representation and preservation of this numeral in electronic texts and documents.
