What ⚉ means
No settled everyday meaning is established.
The clearest documented trail leads to Go, the board game played with black and white stones. A 2001 standards proposal included ⚉ among proposed Go markers in a mathematical-symbols submission; Unicode's symbol list groups it with , , and as Go markers.
In a 2016 Unicode-mail discussion, a participant said the markers' purpose was unclear and could not find Go notation using dots inside stones.
Is ⚉ a Go symbol or a die face?
Unicode groups it with Go markers; – are a separate set of dice faces.
The exact spacing of the white dots is drawn by the reader's font, so its appearance can vary. A resemblance to a die face is not enough to identify it as one.
Obscure and technical; in casual text it can pass as visual ornament.
Treat the two dots as a visual feature, not proof of a number or private signal.

Questions people ask
2Is ⚉ an emoji?
No. It is a text symbol with no recommended emoji presentation, so an emoji picker may not offer it consistently; its exact drawing comes from the font.
What should I reply if someone sends ⚉ alone?
Ask what they mean. The Go-marker label describes the character's documented grouping, not the sender's reason for using it.
