What 𐋎 means
A letter sign: “LD2” is a label, not a reading. A 2005 Unicode proposal lists it among signs from inscriptions at Hyllarima and Mylasa—catalog names for uncertain values.
It served the language of Caria in southwest Anatolia in the first millennium BCE; Carian mercenaries left graffiti in Egypt. Close kin to the Greek alphabet, though independent development remains possible.
Inscriptions in Egypt run right-to-left; those in Caria run left-to-right. Several letter values stay disputed; never guess LD2's sound from its shape.

1Why does 𐋎 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
