on the boundary of analytic functions

I was thinking of a problem I will feel happy if you give hint to solve this. Suppose I have a function $f$ that is analytic on the unit disk $D=\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ that extends continuously to $\overline{D}$. If $f$ is identically zero on some segment of of the boundary, is it then true that $f$ is identically zero on the entire boundary?

I know that analytic functions that are zero at an accumulation point inside the domain of analyticity are identically zero throughout the entire domain, but I don't know what (if anything) can be said if something similar occurs on the boundary of the domain.
