Translating chat messages in Arabic and this "050" keeps popping up. I know that number "5" refers to the Arabic "خ", but anyone knows what the zero stands for?

Name of person or rock band


Explanation:
I had the same issue when translating text messages. I eventually discovered that one of the people chatting used the name 050 as a screen name. It may also be the name of a rock band in Egypt:

I don't think it is a word on its own, but I can't say for sure.
