Hello, Sol,

su~n~na means empty or void. It is interesting to point out that the
Indians were probably first to grasp the concept of zero, and likely
due to this concept of su~n~na. It takes the rest of humankind much
longer to 'count' zero as a number. In fact, according to historians,
the Arab numeral 0 comes from India.

In Chinese, there are two characters for it, the one which is
commonly used by Buddhists is kong1:

Another one, which is common with Taoism and Fengshui, is wu2:

I am not sure which you refer to, but both are Chinese characters,
not symbols.

The word OM has nothing to do with su~n~na, unless you are implying
some other Indian philosophical ideas. When written in Sanskrit in
the Devanagara script, OM looks like a symbol to people who don't
know the language. In the Roman script, OM looks like: om.

Hope that helps.

metta,
Yong Peng.

Hello, I just joined this group. I am searching to see if there is a
symbol that represents the term sunnata/sunyata? I tried searching,
and found a chinese symbol, but am looking to see if there is a Pali,
Indian or Sanskrit symbol... something like the OM symbol I guess is
what I'm looking for.
