U+104A0 "𐒠" Osmanya Digit Zero Unicode Character

U+104A0 "𐒠" Osmanya Digit Zero is a numeric symbol used within the Osmanya script, which was created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid for writing the Somali language. This character represents the numeral zero, functioning as a placeholder in the decimal system and enabling the representation of numbers like ten or one hundred. Its design integrates stylistically with the other Osmanya digits, which are distinct from Arabic and Latin numerals, reflecting an effort to develop a culturally specific writing system for Somali that was officially used for a period before being largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet.
