What 𝟚 means
It is two in a double-struck mathematical style.
On a blackboard, doubled strokes helped writers distinguish mathematical marks; printed double-struck type carries that visual convention forward. For example, ℝ commonly labels the set of real numbers. Read 𝟚 as two unless a formula gives it a defined role.
The outline can vary between mathematical fonts; the doubled strokes are the identifying feature, not one fixed drawing.
Will software preserve the 𝟚 style?
Not always: NFKC normalization maps it to plain 2.
NFKC is a Unicode text-normalization form. This compatibility fold can erase the style distinction, so avoid applying NFKC to mathematical text when that distinction carries meaning.

1Why does 𝟚 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.
