Myanmar Digit Zero

It is the zero digit in Myanmar-script numerals. In ၂၀, it leaves the ones place empty so the number means 20; in ၂၀၀, two zeros leave the ones and tens places empty, so the number means 200.

The Myanmar script developed from a script of southern India related to Brahmi, an ancient Indian writing system, and was adapted to write the Mon language around the eighth century. Myanmar-script inscriptions reach back to the eleventh century; the oldest surviving Burmese inscription is dated AD 1113. Early inscriptions were dedicatory or religious.
