零 is the number zero in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja. 零 is a strange selection for a wall scroll, so it's here mostly for reference. I guess it's OK if zero is important to you.
Note: In modern Japan and China, they will often just write a circle to represent zero in lieu of this character.
