What 𑑐 means
It marks zero in a number written with Newa digits.
Newa is a script for Nepal Bhasa, also called Newar. It descends from Brahmi, an ancient South Asian writing system, through an older form called Northern Gupta. Its earliest recorded use is a Buddhist Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra manuscript dated 908 CE. Nepal's Rana government banned Newa script and the Newar language in 1905. As of 2026, Newar is mostly written in Devanagari; Newa digits can signal interest in the script's heritage.
