What 𑣠 means
It marks the zero value in a Warang Citi number.
Lako Bodra devised Warang Citi in the 20th century as a writing system for Ho. A Unicode proposal omits zero from accounts by Pinnow (1972) and Zide (1996), then shows it in a 2003 date.
Ho can also be written in Devanagari, Odia, or the Latin alphabet. Choosing Warang Citi can signal a script preference; 𑣠 itself still means zero. Ol Chiki and Sorang Sompeng are separate scripts for Munda languages, while Bani Hisir shows some Warang Citi influence.
