Very. The Hindu-Arabic system employs positional notation and the symbol 0 is used as a place holder. By itself, it represents the number zero. Although the concept of nothing was well established, numbering systems were effectively base-9 until the introduction of the 0 symbol. Before then, zero was not even regarded as a number.

Note that 0 is not a number. Zero is a number, as are one and two. 0, 1 and 2 are merely symbols (glyphs) for those numbers.
