"Zero"

Translation: 零

[sumeirkhinda]

Um this is by far the coolest looking digit

[crush]

It can also be written as "〇", which is what you'll usually see in things like years.

[Brian894876]

〇 is now excepted

[Xyvyrianeth]

零 more quite literally means "nothing" than it does "zero."

[leisheng]

But zero literally means nothing.

[lovecats3000]

that makes sense if 〇 is more common when zero is used

[Joshua420931]

It is ⁴⅝6⅞÷⅝¼⅔=o

[Joshua420931]

9⅝×⅞÷⅓⅔⅜7⅞=0

[Joshua420931]

[99⅜÷ⁿ∅=0

[SabianF]

零 I remember this by thinking "It's raining over the house"

[FrenchByte]

Can someone explain the orogin of this hanzi? For zero you have rain on top and... what should be the implicit meaning ? :)

[Cinnamon5230]

Actually, the character "零" IS related to rain.

Originally, "零" means "drops of rain/drizzle" in old Chinese. Later this character was used as the verb "to fall down like rain". You can still see this usage in modern Chinese, albeit not very common and too flowery in conversation:

"凋零": "scatter about"

"涕零": "tears falling down"

Another derived meaning of this character is "tiny bits". as in "零钱" (change, dibs). Which is probably related with the modern usage "zero". However, it's more likely that "零" just had the same pronunciation as "zero" and thus people borrowed this character to write "zero".

[JeffMather]

The idea of "zero" seems very complicated.

[AddyMoreno]

Wow zero is so complicated to write! Interesting...
