U06F0

U+06F0 is the Unicode code point assigned to the Eastern Arabic-Indic digit zero. It is part of the range U+06F0 through U+06F9, which encodes the ten digits used in the Eastern Arabic-Indic numeral system. The glyph commonly associated with U+06F0 is the Persian digit ۰, and the subsequent code points U+06F1 through U+06F9 encode ۱ through ۹.

This numeral system is used by languages that employ the Persian script, including Persian (Farsi), Dari, and Urdu, and is prevalent in Iran and Afghanistan. In texts written in these languages, numbers may appear in Eastern Arabic-Indic digits rather than Western Arabic numerals, depending on typography, locale settings, and font support. The digits are distinct from the Arabic-Indic digits encoded at U+0660 through U+0669, which are used in other Arabic-script contexts.

In digital environments, U+06F0 is treated as a separate character from the Western digits and the Arabic-Indic digits. Software and fonts that support the Arabic script typically render the Eastern Arabic-Indic digits with their characteristic glyph shapes, although fallback rendering may occur if the chosen font lacks appropriate glyphs. Input methods and locale data may influence whether a user sees Eastern Arabic-Indic digits or Western digits in a given document or interface.

In summary, U+06F0 represents the zero in the Eastern Arabic-Indic numeral system, part of a set of ten digits used in Persian-script languages, and is distinct from other numeral sets used in related scripts.
