꣐
U+A8D0 "꣐" Saurashtra Digit Zero is a numerical symbol from the Saurashtra script, a Brahmi-derived writing system historically used for the Saurashtra language in parts of South India, particularly Tamil Nadu. Representing the concept of zero, this digit is part of a larger set of ten decimal digits encoded in the Saurashtra block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 6.0 released in 2010. Its inclusion supports the digital preservation and textual rendering of the Saurashtra script, allowing for proper representation of numerical values in historical and modern contexts, distinct from other Indic numeral systems like Devanagari or Tamil.
