mention of zero

I guess mentioning and using isn't exactly the same thing, but I'd still like someone in the know to look at the claim made here as well as the one made at the Chaturbhuja Temple page. Thanks, CapnZapp (talk) 20:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've not heard of the Lokavibhaga before, but several studies on the Khmer numerals have pushed the earliest and irrefutable certain use of zero as a numerical figure to the early VII^th century. This is not to say that zero didn't exist before, it just wasn't used as a full fledged decimal digit of its own. If the study on the Lokavibhaga is correct, then it would effectively precede Khmer. - Io Katai (talk) 00:34, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just looked up Khmer numerals and that's the first use of 0 as a numerical value but as it had separate symbols for 10, 20 etc it didn't use it for a decimal place notation. I'll edit the article to say this - I assume the 'wrongly claimed' is just a mistake? I'll just edit out the 'wrongly'. Robert Walker (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
