What ᥆ means
It is zero in Limbu numerals.
The Limbu script, called Sirijanga, writes Limbu. Tradition credits an early form to ninth-century Sirijanga; Teongsi Sirijanga reintroduced the script in the eighteenth century. Oldest known writings were collected in the 1850s; modern script development began in Kalimpong in 1925.
Mundhum are Limbu sacred oral narratives. A 1961 printed version used Devanagari for technical reasons; Limbu-script editions appeared especially after 1990.
