What 𐋢 means
It stands for two. The Coptic epact system writes values additively.
The system developed around the 10th century for Coptic administration. A Sinai codex from the late 10th or early 11th century uses the signs to number its folios (book leaves).
Values add from left to right, with larger values first. A font without this glyph may show a missing-character box.

1Why does 𐋢 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.
