Hello, I searched on the internet 4 this, but could not find anything. I have a schematic that uses this value for a capacitor:

1n0 does this mean 1nf?

Yes that is 1 nanofarad.
It is written in that form to provide a less cumbersome number and to get rid of the decimal point.

Similarly 2.7 nF would be noted as 2n7.
